An interesting feature of ribbon mics - because the ribbon is open at the front and the back, they reject sound from the side (and top/bottom) almost perfectly. You can arrange these cleverly in live or studio settings to amplify one thing while rejecting another completely.

A typical usecase for this is a singer with an acoustic guitar - one mic can pick up the guitar and almost fully reject the vocals, and vice-versa. Pretty cool.

Generally these are only used in test methods, which is fine. I've never seen anyone use them outside that.

One thing that I found super interesting when I studied audio engineering is that our ears are very good at determining direction left/right, but absolutely hopeless at working out if a sound is up or down.

Android Engineer looking for a Staff or Lead role, ideally at a more established company but it depends on the problem space. I've worked and lead teams at fintech startups and most recently at Twitter 1.0, and I'm recognised as a Google Developer Expert in the industry.

Looking for new challenges and a chance to grow - I'm at my best when under some pressure and surrounded by smart people.

Then why were they reviewing unrelated codebases? iOS, Android? This doesn't hold up

They use git.
