What is the value of 250?
Scott.
5,000.
5.
Oh my god.
Okay, so we do have people leak coding straight out of the womb.
That's unfortunate.
60 is the correct answer.
Okay, I thought I was pretty good at math when I was a kid.
So everyone's heard of Devon, the AI software engineer.
Don't worry, this is not going to be another Devon AI FUD video.
We're not really going to be talking about that.
But this is the introduction post and if you go all the way down you'll notice something kind of interesting.
Their team is small and talent dense. It has 10 Olympiad gold medals which if you're not familiar with what this is
I'm not super familiar with it either but it's basically an international competition for like really nerdy kids mostly like Indians and Asians
and it's like math related and other like technical areas and so there was this tweet the other day.
This is who you're competing against.
Yeah, but do they deadlift?
Like, do these nerds even go outside and deadlift?
And the answer may surprise you.
Yes, they do.
Over three plates, in fact.
And I took a look at who posted this.
Their name looked kind of familiar to me.
Neil Wu, I've heard that somewhere.
And then I went to the leak code contest tab.
And I have done like five contests probably in my whole life.
I've never really done contests.
I'm not a competitive programmer.
But if you look at the number one ranking, it's him. So this guy is not just a leak code monkey
He's not just a competitive programmer. He kind of knows what he's doing and not only that
Look at some of his submissions. So first of all, he's a C++ guy not surprising
It's a pretty good language for competitive programming
But let's look at the submission here best time to buy and sell stock
early code easy and look at his code. He's actually using good variable names. People always trash
competitive programmers and act like they don't know how to do variable naming. It's not the case.
They just choose not to because they're trying to go fast. This guy has better variable names than
I do. Okay, but what do algorithm skills have to do with anything? Well, take a look at the founder.
His name is Scott Wu and on code forces you can see this guy is
Insane and I mean this in the most politically correct way possible
I've mentioned the term sometimes on leak code like this problem is so hard
It's a crack head problem and this is the crack head who I'm talking about this guy
the problems are designed for this guy.
This is who you're competing against.
And it's not just him.
A lot of their team consists of competitive programmers.
So I just want to quickly say it's well established.
You don't have to be good at data structures and algorithms
to be a good software engineer.
But those who are good at this are usually good at software engineering
