I want to see them start open sourcing more of their i18n and translation tools. Most people aren't aware of this, but one of the coolest problems you can work on at AirBnB is building out tools and features that let two people, who don't speak a common language between them, transact with one another. There is no other startup I know of as vested in solving this problem.

Indeed! We've started with polyglot.js[0], an i18n helper for Node.js and client-side javascript, but there's definitely a lot going on besides this.

It's great to see AirBnb's open sourced work, and tech talks, etc. Kudos to them - I'm sure it helps a lot with recruiting. I used to work for a company in a similar space and looked to AirBnb with deep envy.

Luckily for me it has been a long time since I was in that situation. Anyone would be wise to check that page, though- fantastically designed.

My girlfriend's brother works there. Based on what I've heard from him, I'm pretty jealous, but she's worried if I worked there I'd never come home.
