I hope I can apply soon once I get a side project or two running so I can feel confident that I demonstrate the things that are required to thrive in this kind of culture not only in the work expirience but also outside of it. Thanks for giving me lot of hope about the future work oportunities in tech, and that not everything is a huge extremly serious corporation or a company with limited impact.
