On: Ask HN: How do I get my team to write better code?

[shreeshga]

Give them a free copy of Clean Code[1], I started to care about my code more after I read that book.

You cannot sit and review each commit, the best you can do is to make them care about code.

Any chance I get I make an effort to suggest this book. There is also another book by Robert C. Martin which I suggest called The Clean Coder[2].

On: Google I/O 2014 schedule

[shreeshga]

At a glance, IO2014 seems clearly focussed on:

- Design.

- Pushing Chrome/ Web apps

- Games and wearables on Android

Seems like the start of pushing mWeb instead of apps for consuming web content.

Comment from the source[1]:

  We have already created that oat file above with
  CreateOatFile. Originally this was just our own proprietary

  (aka an .so file)
 

Seems like oat file might be enclosed in an ELF container and might support linking of shared libraries.
