That was my first thought ok. I thought I was looking at the reflecting pool at the Washington monument or something. I’m completely in awe of the size of that pool.

It actually is closer to the reflecting pool than an Olympic pool

I’ve liked the CUBE methodology since I first saw it. It takes all the ideas of these utility classes, but combines it with a BEM-lite approach to work with the cascade, not against it.

Yes! Use Tailwind for the "U"

So why wasn't the person who released the internal memo fired? I don't agree with the memo's author, but it was an internal memo, not something released to the wild

Apparently the leakers haven't been found yet.

With how much Google allegedly knows about its own workers, let alone the general public, I have a doubt.

It also wouldn't surprise me, given bureaucracy.

JS has some seriously rough edges, but I love it because I adhere to a lot of what the article preaches. I never end up with any gotchas because I use the "right" parts of the language.

Nexus was an awesome read, haven't started book 2, but it's free for Kindle & Prime users

I think that productivity is a tough thing to measure...yes there are metrics, but do any of them give an accurate picture of productivity? What do you think is an accurate measure of productivity?

Time would be an accurate measure, considering the same level of quality is met.

Time spent working on the wrong thing is not productive. How do you measure quality in software? If you need to measure quality in order to measure productivity, than one cannot truly measure productivity.

Or to describe this in practice: you can write prefectly modular, documented, tested and well written code that gets top marks at cyclomatic complexity checks. And yet, if you think carefully, your program can be solved by a quick shell one liner. Were you productive at all?

You don't need to measure quality, unless you want to achieve perfection. If you set your quality according to goals, you can ensure that no matter different software you write, it will need to meet same goals (same level of quality).

I feel that books like Clean Coder should be recommended reading for people in their first job. I really feel like it made me think about how I do my job in a more professional, quality-focused manner than even Clean Code did.

I think the fact that the name isn't milquetoast is a huge bonus. People are caught off guard by the name, which gets them thinking about it.

I think the dismissal that business people won't look at it because of the name is purely opinion-based. But what do I know?

If the name were Milquetoast it would be awesome, because that was the cockroach from Bloom County. Or, was that the joke and I'm only just getting it late? ;)

Zerg players will love the name. And there might be a small intersection, somewhere, between business people and Starcraft amateurs.

Seems like the answer is always to grind it out. I commend anyone who has put in the work to succeed.
