gjvc··on Software engineers should be a little bit cynical
100% agree. Cynics can be always be right about the past, but optimists are often right about the future, because they are the ones actually building it.

The negative replies to this comment are ironic.

gjvc··on Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri
Roboto Condensed is excellent. It saves space so more words can be read with each eye movement (saccades) and is very clear.

gjvc··on Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri
Roboto Condensed's description reads like something written by wine journalist:

Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types.

A Sancerre with a long, sweet finish.
