		codegeek on Oct 10, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I asked for a t-shirt, I got a job Good read. So the title is pretty catchy but it can be expanded into: - Built a relationship with Balanced over time by engaging on IRC - Did some free work for them developing iOS and Android libraries. - Open sourced the work. Balanced team knew what I could do. - Really got to know the team and they liked me a lot. - Asked for T-shirt. - Got a job. On a side note, "They used Github issues to not only track problems, but also to openly design features and prioritize them for implementation." I do this all the time.

That's more like a bullet point synopsis than a title.

Hence the word "expanded".

While I agree with the synopsis, I don't think it makes a better title.

Nobody ever suggested it does.
