Amazing website i recommend anyone who’s trying to break into quant or any heavy c++

The website itself is designed very user-orientedly, in terms of a clean user interface, easy to understand and use, and is segmented well into different sections, so thats always a plus when a product looks good and is easy to use. The best part I would say is how often CJ updates the website with new content, I am very surprised that considering how big of a following he has, he still has the time to put so much work into it. One thing I would say is it is still very dev-oriented, and for QT or QR there is still things left on the table.

Really useful tagged questions that helped me prepare for specific interviews I had. Used roadmap to get more comfortable with C++, and love the discord where I can get help from random C++ topics to career advice.

The roadmap learning trees are the best part of the website and I'm glad that this was added. I know much more about the inner workings of C++ and Python, and I'm waiting more hardware content as well. Very interested in hardware acceleration. The questions can be challenging at times but l'd rather get them wrong now than in an interview, and there's always good explanations for each

design is very pleasing, topics are well-selected, and there are plenty of exercises for each one. There are many courses covering all the essential topics needed to prepare for a role as a quant dev I would love to see an advanced Python course, as well as some courses focused on ml in quant's world

I like the coding practice, they are reflective of the OA and technical screenings subject and difficulty from what I experienced myself so I can vouch. I also like the discord questions being shared

Very valuable and versatile resource which is constantly expanding and evolving to help aspiring software (and hardware) developers grow their skills

getcracked is actually useful and relevant to my day to day tasking as a software engineer. While I may not be in quant which this platform is specifically geared towards, I have found it very relevant to my current C++ role as a simulation engineer. The contents I found relevant to me were the concurrency curriculum, the beginner C++ which is actually quite advanced in how deep it goes, the design patterns, and some more of the advanced C++ topics like concepts chrono and a lot more specific C++ libraries that I use on a daily basis.
