Props for standing up for yourself and not letting them use you without proper compensation. I'm sure you'll be better off somewhere else, where they actually value your personal life & free time.

SW Engineer as well. Office can get noisy quite quickly, so I wouldn't be able to focus without headphones and Spotify. If music distracts you(vocals are the main suspect), try some ambient noises, or movie soundtracks(Hans Zimmer, John Williams). Also a comfortable pair of headphones is preferable.


Earplugs are great.


The whole networking is dependent on FFT.


I don't think it's required. Can be used for many things in networking, yes, but not required.


EDIT: 100 subscribers! Thank you guys! :)


True. With exponentially growing computing power, many cryptographic algorithms will be at risk. Everything evolves with time. Commonly used compression algorithms like JPEG or MP3 are starting to being obsolete as well. So what I put in the list are algorithms that put crucial fundaments for computing world.

But anyway, it's a matter of opinion. 10 people could come up with 10 different lists.


Of course. The individual algorithms may change, but algorithm families reflect problems nature herself has given us, and we'll always have to deal with these broad classes of problem.


Thanks for your feedback. I mentioned at the end of video that this list is not comprehensive and there are many more... maybe I should put it also into description.
