Language auto-detection done!

Functionality coming soon and paves the way for more intelligent word hyphenation (by language pattern) and maybe, just maybe auto-translation!

Stay tuned.

Sprint K nominations anyone?

If not it will be *K-car*.  And if you know what a K-car is, you know we don't want it.









 

In honor of C-Sprint - *Convoy* and *CB* radio.  And Rocketsled on rails, I don't care if it doesn't start with C.

*LTBD* - Little Things, Big Difference.

Last week I had a very satisfying LTBD moment.  I discovered that many webmasters were double escaping url params in their +1 widgets.  Fixing this little thing caused a noticeable boost in +1 renders and creations and a big big drop in error logs -- big difference.

2 years ago when I was at LinkedIn this was a formal policy direct from Deep Nishar, head of PM.  Each engineer was supposed to tackle an LTBD item for each sprint.  These are the little things that make the product easier to use, clearer, or fix annoying bugs.
