The open web is not going away

Oddly Zack doesn’t mention paying to get folks involved with the standards-makers like the W3C and ECMA.

A debugging thought process

I love that Remy wrote this up. Debugging is an art and he nails the process for diagnosing speed issues in this brief post.

Ensuring equal pay for equal work

In their latest update, Microsoft has gotten pretty damn close to equal pay for equal work. There’s still some work to be done for Latin & Hispanic populations and women in general, but this is progress. And I appreciate the honesty.

Here are the stats for U.S. employees, assuming the same job title and level:

  • Women earn 99.8¢ for every $1 earned by a man;
  • Racial/ethnic minorities earn $1.004 for every $1 earned by a Caucasian employee;
  • African American/Black employees earn $1.003 for every $1 earned by Caucasian employees;
  • Hispanic/Latin employees earn 99.9¢ for every $1 earned by Caucasian employees; and
  • Asian employees earn $1.006 for every $1 earned by Caucasian employees.

On the leading Edge

This is a really nice round-up of the Edge Web Summit from Kit Kelly. And no, I didn’t pay him for the nice things he said about my talk :-)

My Top Takeaways From the 2016 Edge Web Summit

Earlier this week, my colleagues on the Microsoft Edge team put on the second of what has now become an annual event: the Edge Web Summit. The format was a little different this year, with team members from across the organization delivering quick, punchy 30-minute talks on topics ranging from standard implementations to the user experience of a browser to real-time communications. I live-tweeted quite a few of the talks, but I thought I’d provide a bit of a round-up of what was revealed, discussed, and more so you can read it all in one place.
