The problem is not the builders. The problem is those who hold them back: government red tape, bureaucracy and investors who prefer to put their money on another cat app.
I don't get why it's not ok to steal food from a grocery store but it is ok to not pay rent. Both are basic necessities and in both cases you hurt someone else by not paying for service (food/shelter).
I liked it when you announce it's open source till I checked your Github page:
> At the moment we don't provide support for easily self-hosting the code. Currently, the purpose of keeping the code open-source is to be transparent with the community about how we collect and process data.
So basically you ask people to work for free on something only you can use? No thank you.
Code review is not linter. Code review is a chance to discuss design, scaling, trade-offs and mentor others.
I don't think this solution will offer it.
I would love to attend as long as people start fresh projects at that day. Ideally people will find new partners and form new teams around shared idea. Otherwise it will become another YC pich night for mature(ish) products.
Maps is the main app that I wish would open automatically. Each time someone shares a location with me or if I need to drive somewhere it's very lengthy to open the native app. Sometimes the address doesn't stick and I need to type it again.
I'm using Firefox for a while now (both on desktop and mobile) and I love it.
The only missing part for me on Android is that Firefox doesn't open native apps (YouTube, maps, Instagram etc..) when you open a link. The integration with built in apps like chrome has is not there.
1 - take-home task of "only" 6 hours. that's on top of the onsite (~6 hours) and a few hours for phone call and followups. that's too much for an unpaid job.
2 - they try to find people they know to sniff around about the candidate. that's usually bad as you can jeopardize the candidate's current job (usually people interview while still working at another place).
overall this post made me want to work at firebase even less now.
