Idempotency at Work at Airbnb

Nice article about data consistency. While I don't believe its a hard problem, It can easily trip you up and cause developers to have to spend time figuring it out. Nice article.

About the picture of the office - every time I see developers use laptops I cringe a bit. They are always hunched over in the most uncomfortable looking poster because the keyboard is attached to the screen. I would recommend buying another keyboard and attaching it to the laptop so that you have more degrees freedom to adjust your viewing angle. You'll thank me in 20 years.
