That was Zach Holman. He called it TDD - twitter driven development.

Sounds like he's not parking in a garage. I could see that leading to higher rates in some ares of the US.

47 miles one way. I time my commute to miss the bulk of traffic and on average it takes me 60 minutes. I also WFH 1-2 times per week and have a carpool partner.

I'm in Silicon Valley and my commute is on the upper range of normal.

+1 for gtest, with google mock along side it.

Same for me, though I bet joining toastmasters would have helped. I started small and worked up from there. A few tips are to really know back and forth the material you are covering. Another is to mask nerves with enthusiasm. A few years ago my boss made me give a 45 minute long presentation to a team of ~ 10 engineers. I was freaked out, but it ended up going well. I had a slide deck that I rehearsed with my manager and went over may times. I also included several jokes in it. Since then I've been able to lead weekly meetings with the same number of people. I even gave an all hands presentation to ~35 people. Good luck.

I think a majority of places will see your contribution as a positive thing. A few will not, but you probably don't want to work for those places anyway. I think the more conservative the company is, the more likely they will be to look down on your bitcoin contribution. I'm thinking small mom-n-pop shops outside of the valley, maybe also big financial institutions. Pretty much any startup in the valley would see the contribution as positive.
