About Sass and Gzip

Hey guys! I have a question regarding Sass usage and Gzip compression. If anyone knows something, be sure to share. :)

A quick reminder

It's good practice to use Sass @extend rather than including mixins when possible because of the way Sass handles @extend. To put it simple, it doesn't take the CSS content from the extended selector to place them in the extending one. It works the other way around: it takes the extending selector and append it to the extended selector.

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't

	# Add a new directory in your Dropbox (or use an existing one)
