- SquareWheel 6y agoThat's a disappointing update. I hope they enjoy their new position at least.
- sheeshkebab 6y agoshame... Firefox dev tools are superior to Chrome’s, in my experience
- Avtomatk 6y agoHere is the note on the investment cut in MDN: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/08/an-update-on-mdn-web-docs/ https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/08/an-update-on-mdn-web-docs/
- callahad 6y agoThree of the four MDN engineers are still there, but their manager and all of the tech writers were made redundant. It's a damn shame, but it's not dead yet.
