No offense to the author, but what a terribly written article full of logic holes. For example: 'Our parent company's former CEO started off as a programmer 25 years ago, switched to manager; in 15 years he went all the way to bei

This basically reduces to two questions: a) is github monoculture is bad? I really disagree with author's view on the emphasize on public github project in job interview process is misplaced. Yes, it will not eval how good you are at y

Even it is not explicitly mentioned, I wonder if Stripe will let 'whether the applying project can be used somewhere inside Stripe' be one deciding factor, or the project can be totally irrelavant to what Stripe is doing. It is gr
