The worst kept secret is that employees are making less on average every year. There are millions of reasons for this, but we’re going to focus on one that we can control. Staying employed at the same company for over two years on average is going to make you earn less over 10 years by about 50% or more.

Keep in mind that 50% is a conservative number at the lowest end of the spectrum. The longer you work, the greater the difference will become over your lifetime.

What's the diff between phabricator and github?

Phabricator’s and github’s usage of git is very different. With github you are always pushing new commits, but with phabricator you should never push (except when updating a deploy branch from master). You are better off pretending that we don't actually use git, and that the Khan Academy recommended Phabricator workflow is a series of inscrutable magic incantations that must be meticulously performed or you'll release Ẕ̶̨̫̹̌͊͌͑͊̕͢͟a̡̜̦̝͓͇͗̉̆̂͋̏͗̍ͅl̡̛̝͍̅͆̎̊̇̕͜͢ģ̧̧͍͓̜̲͖̹̂͋̆̃̑͗̋͌̊̏ͅǫ̷̧͓̣͚̞̣̋̂̑̊̂̀̿̀̚͟͠ͅ.

If you are still irrationally stubborn, like I am, and really want to continue using the familiar and universal-outside-khan git workflow, then since you will be fighting the Khan tools you need to be firm and unambiguous in communicating to phabricator what you want it to do.

My workflow is always:

Make a branch.
Make some changes

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

Ctrl + Alt + Space

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
