Can't speak for everywhere, but in the US, if your first questions are about salary, they're going to be left wondering if you're even qualified for the job and if money is all you care about. Even if it is (which is fine most of the time), that's not really the impression you should give if your goal is to be hired.

Asking about salary later on is usually a much better idea. You know whether you actually are interested in working there, the interviewer knows if they are interested in you, and wanting money it isn't the first impression you give.

As for Python - leetcode style interviews are common, but almost always worthless. The only real value the company gets from something like that is to check that you actually can write code. They're pointless beyond that, and a company doing leetcode interviews should be a red flag.

If I'm reading this right, exiling the card from the GY in response also causes this card to deal 0 damage? Unless it uses last-known information or something, not too sure on the rules here.

That might actually make it worse to be honest. If it made a target spell uncounterable, the spell could be countered again in response. That would make this land basically a super specialized, repeatable Counterspell.

Usually you know when you want a spell to resolve (wrath, commander, wincon, etc) so this lets you prepare for that. In brawl, I would expect this land to be a very strong land even.

The main issue I have with it is actually standard, where counterspells already suck, and paying 2 additional mana to prevent something that's already unlikely will be way too slow for most decks to actually compete. Maybe some mill deck might play a copy for mirror matches to resolve Jace or something. Otherwise, Cavern of Souls does this for free in a lot of decks. If/when that rotates out, this might see some real play.

Squadron Hawk at home?

This feels like a good alternative to Fountainport if some deck in these colors wanted to run more value lands. You don't even need to sacrifice the colored mana production. You lose the card draw of course, but this isn't a colorless land so you can run both together.

I wouldn't be surprised if people tried running this card. This and the blue Temur land both seem like they might be playable from what I've seen so far.

Not really sure if I'd play this particular land, but WOTC really hates counterspells these days.

Interesting. I didn't notice this was all errata'd. I think the legendary answer makes sense as well then.

Creatures referring to themselves almost always do so by name. Usually when they say "this creature", it's because the ability was added through some other means. For example, a token might be created with an ability that says "this creature", or an equipment might grant an ability that does that.

In all cases when a card refers to itself by name, it means "this object" though so there's no difference between the two. The only time the name matters is when the card specifically refers to the name of a card, like in Approach of the Second Sun.

Cultivate fetches for any basic lands, not just forests. It also goes to the GY, which is usually better than back in the deck.

This still feels extremely playable in mono-green brawl decks though.

For personal projects, I don't really care what you do. If someone who doesn't know how to write a line of code asks an LLM to generate a simple program for them to use on their own, that doesn't really bother me. Just don't ask me to look at the code, and definitely don't ask me to use the tool.

No.

Although I think it's a symptom of a larger problem. At the very least, consider Rider (or for non-C# code, VS Code/Codium/your terminal editor of choice).

At work, we have to use VS for C# development though, due to us having VS licenses and not Rider licenses. I guess we could use VS Code for C# dev, but I could also use Morse code to type, and neither of those sound like a good time when you take our work tooling into account.

Ironically, many languages that violate these rules are spoken in the US natively. People in the US just like to forget that there are other natively spoken languages (spoken since before English was introduced to the continent even).
