The Wonders of Mozilla Proper

Last week, the team managed to finish the functionality for bi-directional syncing with MakeDrive on the browser, that being a huge milestone in the Nimble project. Helping in the design of the front UI, work on unit tests, and pair program through bugs was as rewarding and productive as it could've ideally been.

The cherry on top of the icing was being able to visit the Mozilla office downtown to present the demo on Friday. The working space in and of itself is worthy of song and film, with ping pong, a music corner, couches abound, snack and fruit bar, and an espresso machine that cannot get enough praise for its impeccable quality. More importantly, to be able to gain insight from and work with some of the most talents minds in the industry was invaluable to say the least.

With project lead David Humphrey expected to return from vacation this week, there's lots of catching up to do with Websockets authentication and changing the client codebase to function completely off of Websockets instead of server-sent events. Another daunting week ahead, with newfound energy and inspiration to tackle the tasks ahead.
