Last week, the Web compat team met in Taipei to work together on webcompat.com and gofaster add-on. This week, the work has a more special human feeling. Work week meetings are good for creating a better sense of community. Tune of the week: Empire State of Minds

Webcompat issues

(a selection of some of the bugs worked on this week).

• Walmart is a JavaScript headache.
• ServiceWorker is hard. There has been a couple of issues with some sites including SmashingMagazine. See also the discussion in the comments of this bug.
• YouTube and the additional space.
• A story about innerText and options values on Microsoft Web site.
• position: fixed and named anchor in Firefox is not so good. There is an old bug opened about it. I wonder how many other issues it creates and why it didn't surface more often.
• weather headaches

Reading List

I often joke that I don’t want to hire a code ninja. Ninjas come in the middle of the night and leave a bloody mess. I want a code janitor. Someone who walks the hallways of code, cleaning up pieces, dusting up neglected parts, shinning up others, tossing unnecessary bits. I prefer this gentler, more accurate analogy. This is the person you want on your team. This is a person you want in your code reviews. On Style Maintenance
