My thoughts precisely! Down to web components and polymer! Thank you, now I have to something to reference when talking to my colleagues. Well I didn't consider HTML-imports, x-tag, Bosonic, but thank you for that information. The author could also have mentioned the last round of crazy javascript framework flowering ... about 2005-2006 ... Prototype, YUI, Sarissa (the most basic one), Dojo, Mootools, Scriptalicious, jQuery... jQuery seemed to have won that round and for a few years most people seemed to be using jQuery. Until AngularJs, Backbone, React and Ember came along :)

As for tools to compile and crush the CSS and JS, consider https://developers.google.com/closure/

As a woman in IT, if your pay is less than your male counterparts, it may not be that you are less competent, and it may not even be that your employer is biased. It may be that your employer is simply paying you a market wage, which is lower for you than for your male counterparts because there are other employers who are biased against you, therefore the demand for you is less. Its about supply and demand, not necessarily bias from your specific employer. Its bias from the market as a whole. However, there is cold comfort in knowing that you are competent and more valuable than others paid the same as you.

I love it! Good stuff! The cursor beating in time with the music is a nice touch.

Thank you for that. Have never looked into japanese zoning.

"The only thing you have to do to build a traditional city - an environment where people naturally want to walk - is to build Really Narrow Streets; " Then pictures of several architectures of buildings are shown along very narrow streets, but nothing more than 4 stories high.

My first thought when I read this was, the narrow streets constricts the heights of the buildings possible because if the buildings are taller than a few stories, the windows will not get light and there will be lack of wind, fresh air and sense of openness. When every building has to be short, how can you meet the demand for housing? Perhaps I'm biased because I live in Jersey City, across from NYC with its own share of residential high rises. Where are you going to house all the people who cannot afford to have a place to stay, due to high cost of housing, due to low supply, due to short buildings?
