		arnorhs on Nov 18, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web At first I was incredibly surprised that Google made this, since it a) looks beautiful b) uses jQuery and c) the UI is darn good - but then I viewed the source and saw this: `20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web Built by Fi (www.f-i.com) for the Google Chrome Team.` Design-by-committee (or by data) would never have built this. This is why I know there would never be a place for me at Google, even though I don't consider myself a designer.
