I would say that working closely together with the front-end devs is key. Listen to what they are trying to do, and see where you can help. Mind you though, that it should be balanced, because you want to avoid doing work that is unnecessarily complicated to make the life of the front-enders better.

Number 31 ("Play poker well enough to win the World Series of Poker.") is a pretty empty statement, as 1 tournament does not reflect your skill at poker at all. Short term variance is too big of a factor when it comes to one 1 tournament result.

That sounds amazing, do you have any sources / benchmarks to back this up?

But why would you place this tab on a live site? It's a great tool for developers, but there's no need to place this in production imo.

"What’s your opinion on pre-processors like SASS and LESS? Does CSS have anything to learn from them?

(...) My own favorites would be nested comments, and single-line comments (starting with //). When CSS turns 50 I’ll tell you why they were not part of CSS from the beginning."

Now, this makes me really wonder why single-line comments weren't part of the spec from the beginning. And I can't wait 30 years... Anyone an idea?

For what its worth, she mentioned in a television show that she got a 7 (out of 10) mark for the project, which was people thought was rather low. The fact is that she does a kind of art study and that the teacher was not all to impressed with the 'art' she created for the project.

Nice work.

I can imagine it would be appreciated that the page jumps to top when you turned a page, don't you think?

That's essentially doing the same trick twice, only with a slightly larger version that matches the border color of the box and is positioned behind the smaller triangle.

From my traveling experience in Ghana I can say that mobile usage there is crazy big. Everybody has a phone, but almost always a really basic (partly broken) phone. So except for the richer audience, smartphone are almost non-existent.

This, however, does not mean that mobile internet is also non-existent. Although data reception is pretty much bound to larger cities/communities, it goes through the entire country. And sometimes I even had reception in the most desolate places.

But the most interesting thing was that phones are actually used for calling people. When you exchange numbers they just randomly start calling you to ask you how you are and whatnot.
