  • It's called Cost Our Molino.

  • It's writing Saratoga Downtown, which is about an hour away, right in Silicon Valley from San Francisco, and Secret about it is that it's owned by a chef who has a Michelin star restaurant right across the street where apparently Apple has its board meetings.

  • And in that restaurant, the Michelin star one apparently a shot of what God costs, like $200 or something like that.

  • But if you don't want to pay that, you just go across the street to this possible spot.

  • Impossibly curious, like $50 on average.

  • It's really good.

  • So when I first started at Airbnb, that was in 2015 and I had one of my last inferences there.

  • I actually was working on the entry team because at the time when I was an intern, when I just learned to code, Andrew was my expertise because that's kind of how I started, I building on dried out.

  • So I joined their entry team and I told my imprint manager, So Intern manager is a person.

  • You know, The bad kind of supervises you through your in friendship or actually manages useful hearing.

  • You have an interim manager, and then you have, like, a real manager off the team.

  • But you're closer with the intern manager.

  • And I told him, Christian, those his name Christian, I really want to also learn the back and world besides just learning the android stuff.

  • Because, you know, as a person who doesn't have a degree in computer science or in software engineering, I just want to expend my horizons.

  • And I want to learn something else.

  • And honestly, guys like internships are an incredible opportunity to just learn a lot of stuff.

  • You will learn something exciting to you, and different companies do differently.

  • But Airbnb was very flexible to, you know, cater my needs and interests, which was so amazing.

  • So I ended up working on this really big project that is actually still in the app, which is super exciting.

  • So, you know, at a company like Airbnb and other big companies, they always try to make sure that entrance do something that would actually be impactful by away.

  • Guys wanted to give you a sneak peek.

  • I might be building out a studio in the space here.

  • I've heard people from Google say interns from Google say that Oh, they worked on some small thing that was kind of scraped off after they finish their internship on.

  • Of course not to say that inference upset Google are bad or anything off course you like, Still learned a ton, but because it was such a big company, it's hard, You know?

  • Thio have what so many entrance give them all these projects that are actually gonna go to production immediately because it takes such a long time for it to actually going production.

  • So sorry, that was quite a ramble.

  • I'm sorry story.

  • I was lucky for him to cater to my needs.

  • So he gave me this project that was collaborative wishlist and collaborated.

  • Wish list was essentially, you know, the wish list and feature that there is there in air being viewer.

  • You can hard listings or hard experiences and they will be safe to your wish list.

  • So what this project was was making these wishlist collaborative.

  • So the whistles already existed.

  • And we wanted to make sure that you can add your friends, invite your friends to those wish lists and also have, like, upload and features.

  • They're you know, let's say you're going on a trip of your friends and you want to pick where you're gonna stay so that you and your friends can upload a bunch of listings that you like, so that you can actually decide where you want to stay.

  • And then people were able to comment on it also.

  • So that was an amazing project, because I got to build both the android part of it.

  • So I was really proud of that.

  • You know, I got Thio build the back and for it and build the end for its side for it.
