Seems to work for me. [1] Maybe they fixed it?

As a former Mozilla intern whom worked directly with Identity team on a daily basis last summer, I can say that this indeed hits close to home, though not unexpectedly so. I could see this coming. The Identity team has so many weird and wonderful things on the way for the broader Firefox audience that transitioning it to the community only makes sense.

I for one can't wait to see what the open source and HN community does with Persona and also can't wait to see what comes out of the Identity team as a result of this transition of focus.

And a one-line fix. Damn that must be satisfying.

Simple, beautiful, free! I love it!

Another reader emailed me and pointed out that as developers, we tend to want to perfect what we are building before we show it off, which is totally understandable, but that urge to make it "a little bit better" needs to be fought back sometimes. MVPs are very valuable in this case as one needs to decide what is important to release and what can wait.

I'm the author (not OP). I'm glad to see so much love for this post! :) If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here, on my blog, or email me at ryan@ryanseys.com

Awesome work!

I am the author of [1]. This post actually has motivated me to start a similar effort. Perhaps not the GitHub streak (again), but the blogging for sure! A blog post per week sounds like a very reasonable goal.

Keep going and report back! :)

They do for your own view, but the public will see a different number for your streak. My projects are all open-sourced so I did not have this issue.

Wow that's amazing! Good for you, keep it up!

I'm glad someone can relate to that feeling of not wanting to work. The master branch thing was annoying as well especially if you work regularly on separate branches in larger projects.

Thank you! I am glad you found it interesting, it was certainly a learning experience for me :)

I did actually contribute to more open source projects that were not my own! This was because I had run out of my own ideas and wanted to keep making meaningful contributions. Some side-effects near the end were more negative than anything though, including a lack of motivation to do ANYTHING GitHub related. It was uncomfortable at some points because I felt I was being forced against my will to contribute.

This is just awesome!

Fix'd. https://github.com/ryanseys/ryanseys.com/commit/2c043f

I squash all my stylesheets into one giant .css file to serve rather than a bunch of individual stylesheets. A side-effect of squashing + minifying (which is done every time I generate my website) is that all comments are removed.

You are correct, that notice is not present, but I did not remove it intentionally. To be honest, I didn't read the LICENSE.md of Pure CSS. Shame on me :)

Feel free to file a bug against this at: https://github.com/ryanseys/ryanseys.com

That is correct.

This would be a side-effect of using a CSS minifier, not an intentional act against Pure.

I wish we could replace that report with something a little more lively!

I'll be back in January to do just that!

I am looking forward to trying out new jobs, and love the freedom of internships for this reason alone. That being said, Mozilla will always hold a close place in my heart.

The differences are really night and day. Blackberry is too large to really have that "home-like" feel, it really just feels like work. Mozilla has character which I definitely feed off for motivation. The attitude of the people at Mozilla is much different than those at BB, as well. Mozilla and everything in it has life, Blackberry unfortunately feels much less-lively. Motivation at Mozilla is fueled by the love of the work and at Blackberry you really can feel the money is the end goal. Both companies are just really different for different reasons, but I definitely prefer Mozilla.

Persona required some changes to the code that have not yet landed in production i.e. on login.persona.org so we are using personatest.org for preliminary testing :)

I approve of this :)

+100! It was awesome to be an intern!

I am sorry! It is likely due to WebRTC's inability to connect to others when difficult NATs get in the way. TURN servers can mitigate this but Tin Can is not set up to use a TURN server (yet).

Hi I'm the Mozilla intern that developed this and would really love some feedback! It's super-experimental right now, but feel free to try it out! I plan to release a more formal post later once some more bugs are squashed.

Make it easy for people to discover when you post again. This could be anything from a mailing list (overkill IMO) or providing an RSS feed of your blog for people to subscribe to.

GitHub Pages is really great because they will host it themselves at a domain like username.github.io, and when you decide you need a new side-project, you can easily port everything over to your own server. Jekyll static-site generator can be used on GitHub Pages, or you can literally throw .html files in there. I like it purely for the flexibility it provides me.
