I agree with politicians choosing to enter the public space and that they should be held accountable. Spying on private citizens is wrong but has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make, which is - despite the fact govt should be

Their advice isn't perfect but that doesn't mean I won't pay attention to it. Memory use and leaking isn't really covered in their page speed advice anyway, which is mostly about server side caching, image optimisation,

That's why I miss Fireworks so much. As a developer I receive PSD designs (sometimes 400MB files) that are just a collection of layers that have to be converted in to website-ready image files. This isn't really what PS is for, ye

You're totally right in that coding tests can and probably should be done "blind". When it gets to the "let's meet" stage, it could be possible that the bias just comes back. Yes this woman made a perfect score
