It has a bit more content than the landing page IMHO.

"thanks for reporting this, I'll pass this to the tech team"

It's not something they can say. The product is unsupported and the "tech team" won't care.

Performance always matters. People often tend to shut that argument down quoting "Premature optimization is the root of all evil". My opinion is that this quote was never meant to say "Performance/Optimization as a whole is the root of all evil".

If you don't have to care about it, it's because someone else did it for you. And if everyone cared a little, the web would be better place for the users(40MB for a single website maybe ?). (Not talking about other areas than web development here...)

Just think about it twice before dismissing that argument.

Honest question: How does Emacs help with this particular problem ?

I feel like with every editor, it involves repeatedly hitting J, Ctrl+N or down arrow, which is inefficient. Do you have a way to get to a particular line that does not force you to think too much about how to get there ?

I would refrain from calling that a confirmation. It's a statement expressed by customer support, without any context.

People aren't just one person, they have diverging opinions. You can't expect everyone to settle on one narrative. Plus, you know, trolls.

It basically happens to every company, nothing to be sad about.

Although I agree with your comment, this particular article makes no mention of "fighting for an internet freedom". It's just a very regular - and not so sexy, IMO, product announcement... which proves your point of him being a regular business man.

Google Inbox is also blocked on Edge, which is sad. I wonder why they're blocking it. As you said, Edge works fine with most websites, it's not IE6...

You'd still want to do code reviews after mob/pair programming though, because:

- the whole team might not be here and needs to review the changes to catch up.

- doing the wrong thing as a mob is still doing the wrong thing, and you may need more eyes on your code to spot that (especially if everyone during the session was convinced that what was written is right)

- IMHO, even if 10 persons were involved in writing it, a later review of the code can still improve quality (because people will actually be reading the code rather than writing it, which will expose other kinds of issues)

I don't see these as mutually exclusive. Introducing a compiler/type-checker can be (depending on your situation) a very concrete way of improving the way code is written.

And ^ results in a blank character.

I've been following this series of articles. As a total beginner in the field, I found it to be a quite approachable introduction and learned a lot reading it. Thank you !
