=================== TALKS ===================
A system built on parity
Parity is at the heart of how Lyft builds its universal design system. We build parity heavily into every step of our process because we prioritize treating our users, designers, & engineers equally.

Catching bugs with custom lint checks
Android Lint is an extremely useful tool that scans your app for hundreds of potential bugs & common issues. But Lint can do much more for advanced users. In this talk we'll show how we use custom lint checks at Lyft to promote best practices & encourage consistent design across our apps.
