I'd recommend trending repositories (you may apply a language as well as time filter). https://github.com/trending Checkout plethora of topics such as "awesome <put your favorite domain>" repos for general exploration on any topic! https://github.com/topics/awesome There's also reverse interview question repo that I personally like. https://github.com/viraptor/reverse-interview Github also offers community curated collections of repos, for example there's one on chrome extensions to super charge your github experience: https://github.com/collections/github-browser-extensions You'd be surprised to see what all you'll end up exploring! PS: after writing this, I felt as if I am promoting github, but hey gitlab will always hold a special place for me.
In Ask HN: Best GitHub Repos
Asking them to name the bank is a bit of a weird one, only because the answer can't be SVB anymore, and I'm not sure what OP would do with that information. (So it's FRB, then what? Unless you have inside info that they're about to fail, and you're interviewing this week, I don't see how their banking partner's material) But if a startup you're interviewing at won't answer what their runway is, or the rest of the reverse interview business questions, then that's a red flag and you should run far, far away from them. * Are you profitable? * If not, how long is your runway? * Where does the funding come from and who influences the high level plan/direction? * How do you make money? * What's preventing you from making more money? * What is the company's growth plan for the next 1 year? 5 years? * What are the big challenges you see coming up
Read the rest
