Do you want to make it open source? :)

Berlin is way better than Dubai. Berlin has more atmosphere and is not that "american" like Dubai. Berlin has a big developer scene and millions of startups and meetups. But remember, weather is not that nice in Germany :D

This is also what I learnt as a programmer.

I think IT and especially open source is one area, where your gender, background, sexual orientation doesn't matter. The most open source projects I'm using or working on, are made by people I don't know how they look. The only thing that matters is the ability of writing good code.

The author is in that point right, that there are more male programmers than female. But to solve this problem you have to start way earlier, with getting the interest to tech things of a child (regardless of gender) in school or even earlier.

I always wonder, why IT companies don't test their backups? Even if it's the prod db, it should be tested on a regular base. No blame to the dev.

Yeah it's no coding problem on purpose, but sth you could actually fix. But it's not good manner to not mention it from Firebase.

> They said in most cases it doesn’t make a big difference… unless you use the REST API.

So in the end it was a coding problem, because you forgot to add Keep-Alive = true? If you use the provided SDK's it should be no problem then right?
