It records a little thought or memory over the last year, and then starts again, so you can see how your answers change […]
One of the many things I was constantly amazed about during my first few weeks at Square/Cash App was seeing how fast this team shipped code. All members of the Android team (and likely other platforms as well) were merging to the main git branch multiple times every day. This was in stark contrast to […]
