I also feel bad that he has seemingly tied up so much of himself into this. Although the technical interviews at Google kind of require this prep, at the end of the day interpersonal skills and other factors contribute to the final decisio

That's exactly right. It's just a general term nowadays for embedding pre-computed information into an asset for the purposes of optimizing the rendering of that asset. Of course, you need a renderer capable of understanding how t
