在 JS 裡比較是否相等時，到底要用兩個等於 == 還是三個等於 === 呢？== 跟 === 到底差在哪？為什麼大家總是說盡量不要用 == 呢？
最近剛好被學弟問到相關的問題，雖然知道 == 背後再做什麼，但又覺得 JS spec 上寫得好長好難記，也就勸了學弟不用真的去記。但看完 Kyle Simpson 的解釋後，就默默記起來了。所以只能怪罪自己懶，因此寫下這個筆記。
Kyle Simpson 是著名的 You Don’t Know JS (YDKJS) 的作者。我感受到他費了不少力氣淬煉出讓大家都好消化的解釋。
Kyle 甚至提出應該多多使用 ==，然後用 === 來警告讀這段 code 的人說，「你要注意這裡，因為我搞不清楚等號兩邊的型別（type）是什麼」。
The last few weeks (week 11 – week 13) of Outreachy were probably the hardest weeks. I had to do 3 informational interviews with the goal of getting a better picture of the open source/free software industry.
The thought of talking to someone I don’t even know just overwhelms me. So this assignment just leaves me scared to death. Pressing that “Send Email” button to these interviewees required me to summon up all of my courage but it was totally worth it. I really appreciate their time for chatting with me.
On the other hand, it’s hard to believe the internship is coming to an end!

想要貢獻 Open Source，又有錢可以領，除了 Google Summer of Code 外，還可以考慮看看 Outreachy！Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 最大的限制是：你必須擁有學生身份才能申請。如果不是學生的話怎麼辦？
儘管你已經不是學生了，或只是想探索一個新的選擇，那就可以考慮申請 Outreachy。計畫詳細的內容可以直接上官網看，這邊只做一個極簡的介紹：
不諱言第一點還是很重要，這是有領錢的實習。對於已經上班的人更是重要。跟 GSoC 比較不一樣的是，Outreachy 也不用自己從無到有生出一個 proposal。英文心得主要是分享心法，所以偏向申請時的心態。這篇文則是注重實際執行的步驟。畢竟如果只是英翻中，好像就不需要寫這篇了。
2019-07-24 Outreachy 時程有做調整，詳情請見這裡。差異為：

The Week 9 blog prompt recommended by Outreachy was to write about my career goals. To be honest, this is a really hard topic for me. As long as a career path involves some form of coding, creating and learning new things, I’m willing to take it on. The best situation could be that it is also doing something good for the society. This might be because that “something that I am too passionate for” doesn’t yet exist in my life. For now, I wish I’d still be coding 5 years from now. It’s just that simple. The only thing that I would like to see improvement upon is gender balance for this industry.
As for working environment, I would like to share some thoughts after having experienced both extremes of totally remote work and complete in-office work. There are a lot of articles out there comparing the pros and cons. Here are just my opinions on the time spent not working:
