SASS support in Chrome web inspector

Google Chrome has experimental SASS support in web inspector.

To turn it on, open
chrome://flags
and
enable Enable Developer Tools experiments.

You may have to reload web inspector to make settings apply.

Then open web inspector settings (the little cog icon on the bottom right)
You see a new tab, Experiments


Select Support for SASS.

To make it work your generated CSS needs to include line numbers, which with Chrome can connect your CSS to SASS.
If you're using the command line compiler --line-numbers will do the job.

If everything works you should see SASS code when inspecting elements.

Smiling profile pictures make a difference

At my company one employee took the effort to take a profile picture of every employee. He only took photos where people smiling, it took some time but within few weeks (100+ employees) it is done.

Then everyone was asked to replace their profile picture in hipchat/google apps/yammer to the one taken. Everyone agreed, and as a result I only see smiling faces in the apps these days.

It feels good.

Smiling pictures make a difference.
