I don't know much about this codebase and I am probably one of the dumber people on this site (that's ok, I'm happy and eat well), but take a closer look at some of these commits:
https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/bf67ece35...
Just dd a promptfrom one object and p it to another.
https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/c59d90a4c...
change a keyboard shortcut lol
https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/489004ae0...
manually set font size in 3 places but remove the variable that would still be valid in 2 places???
https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/9bbee4c3d...
made an error message longer
Now to be fair I've never been paid 270k by coinbase so presumably these guys are a lot smarter than me, but I'm still really confused why they got funded.
Your mistake, the right way to do this is to optimize 100% for the leetcode interview and 0% for how to do a job.
You get hired and undercontribute for nine months before putting in notice after you win another interview, which is easier this time because you won one before and got the pedigree.
There is a whole generation of people who write solutions to assignments and have no idea how to create software. These commits are what happens when they don’t receive a prompt requiring a from-scratch implementation of a topological sort.
That's on the companies for structuring their interviews like that. Actual technological competence is not measured, only skill in algorithms and data structures, 75% irrelevant for the job..
Hilarious that the font PR was meant to "reduce font size" yet he managed to actually increase it.
