[Googler who works with the Flutter team] I'm a big fan of your app! It has become the main way I consume and watch stock data. There are some minor issues however. The "Watchlist" header has an issue where it renders under t

On a somewhat related note, I've always been impressed by the number and quality of charting libraries for the web. A while back I was looking for native charting libraries for Android/iOS and was disappointed. Has the ecosystem c

I had the exact same experience coming from T-Mobile as well. No issues after the reset and enjoying the service so far, especially when I travel internationally.

Definitely pricey and a little off the beaten track but I absolutely love my Chromebook Pixel LS. Ubuntu was super easy to set up using Crouton. Everything worked out of the box, the only minor modification I made was replace the synaptic t

I currently do pager duty (DRI) for a team within Microsoft. Like most teams that have this duty, we cycle a developer each week to have the responsibility to answer any escalations that might occur. The role of this developer is simply to

Although I have a couple friends at Amazon, I was unaware that their development model is what Microsoft is aiming for. The points you make don't bother me right now since I am so young in my career. I haven't developed deep exper

It depends where you work in Microsoft. Most everybody I work with has their own office. I have several friends at Microsoft who work in open office spaces. As with most things in life, there are benefits and downsides. Personally I like my

I work on Bing at Microsoft. What you have stated is correct. We have already done away with our test and operation teams. Moreover, a number of PMs were let go last week. Developers are now expected to wear many more hats. We are also redu

I understand your point of view. I didn't return to Canada for convenience though. I returned because McGill is phenomenal school. Moreover, I knew I would need to do internships during university. This would not be possible while under my

I can't remember which TED talk I saw but they discussed this very issue. It's alarming to think one of America's biggest export is Master/PhD students.

I did not pay out-of-country tuition rates. I did have to pay out-of-province tuition rates though. (McGill is located in Quebec, Canada). I also applied to various NC universities and I would have had to pay out-of-country tuition rates.

I created a WP7 app that utilizes Microsoft Pubcenter. My eCPM fluctuates between $0.90 and $1.00. When I first released the app, about a year ago, my eCPM was much lower (around $0.25).
