Thanks for building this 10 years ago. This was my first repo I looked at as a noogler earlier this year because I wanted to understand the effort req’d to replace flash charts. It looked a bit more complex than I was expecting but I still have it as #1 on my backlog for a multi-weekend project.

Are Google employees expected to work on Google services over multi-weekends? Are you compensated or is this for fun? If you're working for free and your work is not open source it seems like you are being taken advantage of by your employer.

I think about it a little differently: I don’t work on that product team, but I’ve benefited from using google finance for almost a decade and have the skillset + interest to help contribute back to that product.

Happy to hear that! :-)

Despite being a little bit more complex than I think it needed to be (I was a junior engineer after all, and this was my first project at my first job) I still think there's more complexity than meets the eye. Like anything that looks simple, there's tons of work behind it.

Why would you do it at the weekend?
