The problem is that there can be a lot of lag between asking someone to review the PR and them actually doing it -- yes, I have definitely ran into this issue at my previous job, some PRs take forever to get merged because everyone else i

I'd agree, but i also think this applies to both genders, it doesn't make sense for women to show too much skin for a professional environment and men shouldn't be wearing beach clothing to a meeting etc. However that being s

I hear the second point all the time and I can agree with it from my personal experience, but what would be a good way to "not care"? For me, when I know I'm interviewing with a company that I'm excited about, it seems a

having mixed feelings, on one hand I'm super happy that Firebase has grown to where it is now, the product has always been awesome and with Google I can only see it getting even better (Especially after seeing its Angular binding, and

programming-wise, AngularJS. Reading a few typography books on the side (finding it really interesting by far) :-)

I've been reading this one lately, it's not so much practical typography, but rather the history and backstories of types. I find it quite a fun read, and it can inspire your interests and appreciation for types, if you don't

Congrats Firebase team! I've used Firebase hosting while it was in beta, and had a great experience. Very easy to setup and follow even for someone like me who has very little experience with servers/deployment. They're also

As a Canadian student with no previous experience working in the US, I find it nearly impossible to get an internship at startups in the states. I'm not sure if it's my own problem or it's because of visa/relocation cost

No experience and not a lawyer here either But even putting aside all the money-talk, while I was reading the story I almost feel like she's not being very respectful of the effort you have put in. It sounds like you and her have a co-

yes, what I'm curious about is how people do todo-lists for team discussions/projects with short time frames that span for a few days to a week. Sometimes we also just write todos on a shared document, or a short list in a chat, t

Maybe it's just me that finds Trello's interface complex then :p do you also use Trello for non-soft/engineering related projects?
