Once a community grows past a certain point, you have to allow other members of the community to take on the role of engaging more members. You simply cannot be everywhere, and it is important to allow people to have that leadership role of welcoming new people into a community …
Why does changing a car’s oil in take an hour in California? In Texas, this is a 15 minute process, in and out. I’ve never been a fan of wasting time, so while waiting on my car this morning, I started researching one of the most exciting test opportunities we …
Today, we are releasing Firefox 3.5 this morning, so we’re in the office really early. Got to watch the sun rise over downtown Mountain View. It’s going to be a fun day!
So,after a much more log parsing and number crunching than I had anticipated, I have some results from the Greener Tinderbox effort. For those that don’t know, I’ve been running all the TUnit automated tests over and over on a set of knock-off Tinderboxen trying to hammer out which failures …
