Webcompat issues
(a selection of some of the bugs worked on this week).
- Walmart is a JavaScript headache.

- YouTube and the additional space.
- A story about innerText and
optionsvalues on Microsoft Web site. position: fixedand 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
