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

You know how, in JavaScript, we can set a value to a variable if one doesn't, like this:

name = name || 'joe';

This is quite common and very helpful. Another option is to do:

name || (name = 'joe');

##Objective

Add RESS for conditional content based on screen size. Accomplished by creating a JavaScript cookie

##Problem

When a cookie is set via JavaScript, Laravel's Cookie can't read the cookie. It doesn't work because there is no httpOnly option in Laravel. Symfony cookie does have httpOnly option but it defaults to TRUE. httpOnly has to be set to FALSE in order to access cookies from the browser. See issues:

• https://github.com/laravel/laravel/issues/1266
• laravel/laravel#460
