Applicants definitely peak in their leet code ability at graduation. Probably doesn't help that they're have lots of free time and motivation to grind for their first job. It's a mistake to hold more senior people to same standard.

Because of how PNG compresses images. The high detail will lead to large images, and at that point it’d be easier to save the RAW output of the camera, offload the images, and do any compression later.

It's even worse than that. You need a complete address to actually know what the correct tax is.

They also like the possibility of future MRR.
