Git Cheatsheet

FlyingSky Blog Works again

I decided to update my flyingsky github.io to support multiple categories except the existing post, so I could write different topics, such as some personal life thoughts in Chinese, my native language.

I noticed I have many test repos in GitHub but forgot to delete them. The GitHub only provides UX to delete repo one by one. Why not have a Chrome extension to automatic the deletion process to save the time?

Dropbox Full-Stack Eng interview

Dropbox full stack interview is not LeetCode style, so it focuses on the design/debug/real work related coding, which is similar to Stripe. But the interview question setup is easier than the Stripe.
