**** What is your experience with:
***** Low-resource microcontrollers or other hardware facing development?
- Majority of relevant experience was working on Fuschia
- Users were basically Nest developers
- CLI tools that handled different development aspects
- Setting up environment for remote development
- Software delivery side of the OS --- how can a Nest developer go from a change in the monorepo to actually running on the device
- CLI tool for flashing
***** Rust
- Wanted to learn Rust, so joined Fuschia really _for_ Rust
- Current job is in Rust
***** Automated testing and continuous integration
- Touched CI throughout career working with data
- No testing involved physical hardware
- E.g., Fuschia had an emulator
- Extensive experience with automated testing in general, both at Google and in data roles
***** Secure system design
- Feel pretty comfortable with Rust, but not as comfortable in lower-level "stuff"
- With data space worked with people who use PII data, used crypto shredding
- Amit's note: no real "experience," but exhibited a bunch of familiarity with some tools/ideas and knew what he was talking about
- Recently implemented
**** What is your experience with community-based open source projects?
- A lot of experience
- Contributed to ~10 open source projects
- Apache Airflow
- Beam
- Mostly for data processing stuff
- Model: read the docs, this is what is required for each PR, maybe open an issue, squash commits
**** Tell me about a scenario where you worked in a multi-stakeholder setting? E.g. one where different contributors had different incentives and resources? Or, what strengths do you bring to this environment and what challenges might you face?
- At Google: professional services organization, lots of stakeholders with different incentives & goals
- Nest developers that join Fuschia
- Wrote a one pager on issues with dev setup, add some education within tools
- Started larger conversation about backwards compatibility
**** Give an example of a significant project that you completed independently?
**** When is a project "done"?
- A checklist of deliverables
- E.g. "Hey, will you take this over?", "Yeah, once it does X, Y, Z"
**** Do you have experience working with remote collaborators?
- Very comfortable
**** How often do you prefer to check-in with stakeholders on your project?
- Prefer to give folks space, meet every 3 or 4 days
- Both synchronous and synchornous
- Problem with async is that it gives people room to disappear
**** What is your preferred mode of working in a group?
- Something in between weekly check-in, maybe doing programming together, etc
**** What challenges do you foresee on-boarding to working on Tock in this role?
