I'm guessing that disease spreads more quickly in an open office, so sick leave is more necessary.

The problem with overdressing (as an engineer) is that outside visitors will assume that you're not an engineer.

Hm. I wonder if there's a way to distinguish between "If this particular person gets hit by a bus, we're screwed" versus "If any of these n people get hit by a bus, we're screwed" (which is a lot worse).

If a team has n people, the loss of any of whom would halt the project, does that mean that the bus factor is 1/n?

Thank you. Can anyone else confirm this?

So, now that the zip file is missing from GitHub, some people are starting to upload it elsewhere. Can the people who got it from GitHub earlier post the result of running

  md5 Atom.zip

? That might help mollify the paranoid conscience.

(EDIT: or any other hash function for that matter.)

Does anyone know why they're using Javascript to load such a simple page?

Same here. Though of course I'd prefer to get it from GitHub directly.

This is what I see:
