   My conspiracy theory is that this app will eventually replace the Hangouts app. Notes: 1) This is not AOSP. It is closed source. And since it can be updated through Play, Google can ship new features independent of Android releases. Some sa

   This is an old site. Copyright of the site is 2012. The github repo's first commit[1] predates the first commit of Web Components' draft of Custom Elements[2] by a few months. So, I wouldn't say ignorant but that the Web is c

   Owning more of the toolchain (front and backends) will offer more control and, thus, integration with a more modern development environment. Much like how Apple released Swift this year to replace Objective C in the long run, I imagine Goog

   "We aren’t racists, yet we buttress a system that acts in racist ways... This occurs partly because of deeply embedded stereotypes that trick us, even when we want to be fair." That made me think.

    I agree that building a custom CMS is not the right answer in most circumstances. I'm not advocating building custom CMS. My position is that what has "always been a good candidate for an off-the-shelf CMS" is evolving. The t

    There is no doubt that SSGs will "grow up" and appear to gain features like Wordpress. The difference will be that SSGs are born out of loosely coupled tools in a toolchain ecosystem. Over time, I believe the successful SSGs will

    The CMS is in a renaissance period with Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and the like falling out of favor. I believe the CMS is bifurcating into two specialized directions. Several online publishers are coming out and describing their new, home-g

    I interpret the groundswell interest in the SSG a testament the CMS does not address all the needs in the content publication pipeline. Some organizations have a focus on content creators. Others on developers. In general, the hacker mindse
