> They may view an instructor as an opponent standing in the way of the grade they want. And they see “getting the right answers” as the goal of education because that’s how you secure that grade. But that’s no more true than thinking that logging a count of reps is the goal of bodybuilding.

The author is essentially saying "you're doing education wrong" to students who never signed up for the author's version of what education is for. Students are making a rational economic calculation: they need a degree to get a job.

I think people would be surprised what is on the internal seller forums. There is really like a huge amount of issues that Amazon fails to help with. Literally everything from onboarding to protecting sellers from refund scams.

Why is avoiding STL bad advice? Lack of problem solving skills? You could survive with LIST_ENTRY and UNICODE_STRING-type structures.

There is nothing stopping you from storing size of the string. See: UNICODE_STRING

This is a silly argument.
