A comment on Lyft Files S-1. Parent comment

Feel free to ignore this, but would you shoot me an email? I'm working on a project that uses bare metal and would like to pick your brain.

EDIT: To whoever downvoted this, the commenter hasn't listed an email address, or I would have reached out directly. This is an honest attempt at communication that doesn't require someone to break anonymity.

You were probably downvoted for using the term 'pick your brain'. I am sure they want their brain 'picked'.

Sure, it's an overused term, but the ask is pretty clear. "I'm doing something and it looks like you've done it before, can I get advice?"

Agreed. I think it's healthy to ask these things and I believe it leads to a positive and supportive community.

Agreed.

Though the question I received was somewhat nonsensical, which was to be expected.
