Kind of frustrating that this article doesn’t really describe in a nutshell how they do it, despite it being the title. It kind of assumes you already read about dropping node_modules.

This was really capturing my interest until I saw their title-cased Invented Solution that they were promoting to fix this.

Any idea of the budget for a test like this?

I have little sentiment for Google, but this article seems to be arranged as part of a campaign. The statements of a small number of x-Googlers is taken as a generalization of the company’s sentiment as a whole and is used to seed doubt, while acknowledging very little specific mistakes.

I’ve used a PC heavily for 15 years and 6 months ago switched cold turkey to a Mac. There is only one thing I found Windows to handle better and that is file system navigation (via UI). I just cannot get used to finder, from the default lack of an address bar, to individual windows not showing up on your tab switcher, to the lack of an equivalent run dialogue, etc. It just isn’t as intuitive to me and dealing with the file system is unpleasant.

I can’t see the benefit of this outweighing the potential future catastrophes it will create, not to mention the future inherent distrust of audio we will develop.

We’re going to start missing real things.

SEO has made the Internet so toxic. I can’t stand wading through data these days, it’s written for bots.

I expect this post will get few comments out of self-consciousness.

This has frustrated me so much, as I spend a lot of time optimizing web performance. Gtag.js is pushed by analytics, however after loading it then async loads analytics.js. It is very inefficient, especially for sites that do not much more than track page views. It is the worst scoring factor on sites I optimize because there’s very little you can do about it without hacks.

Worst dark pattern IMHO these days is the free trial that requires a credit card and rolls right into subscription, especially when it defaults to annual and there’s an early cancellation fee. Canceling subscriptions is also a labyrinth that differs by site.

I’ll bet the Harvard students saw a new fancy chicken bowl and bought it out of novelty.
