coconutrandom··on Startups Like Berlin Because Visa Rules Are Nothing Like the U.S.
I'm sorry about that. As an also non white developer my personal experience has been the extreme opposite. Even my pathetic attempts at German were held in good humor.

coconutrandom··on The Mother of All Interview Questions
Your second part is spot on, but the first question is not about the "yes/no" but the "why". Of course we invent, but the question is to find to what extent they are willing to go.
