Opensourcing a component means it no longer provides any competitive. It just helps companies increase their open source credentials or decreases their cost of development over the next few years!
Normally, they will look at two years of stable(typically W2) income (Salary + RSUs) from one company before they make decisions. However, in bay area, some mortgage lenders have started excusing people who jump companies, because, well jumping companies in bay area is common. They now have to tweak their models.

Subscribe does not help me in discovering new channels on topics I want.
While we are here, is there a service that provides me with list of newly uploaded youtube videos? In my mother tongue (south indian language), I have many interesting channels but youtube does not surface them by default. I just want to go through the list and write an algorithm to filter them out based on mypreferences.

Is there somebody who scrapes them youtube and sells the data

What is the best way to contact libraries/librarians for API access to their library?

I want to build an app which will dump me in random pages of my checkouted books, instead of me gathering energy to do it. I have other features planned.

I am stuck with how to interface with my local library, like Libby does. Any ideas ?
