Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Pharma package in CSS

Attempt at a realistic pharmaceutical box that will work in ie10. I've got a project that uses an element like this, but that one requires preserve-3d, which is not available in ie10.

For anyone wondering about the details on the box, they're all contrived and follow Australian style guides as specified by client.

I started with a cube forked from dehash's Pen ie10 css 3d cube - cross browser and went from there.
