• Study hard. • What others think of you is none of your business. • It's OK not to have all the answers. • Experiment, Fail, Learn and Repeat. • Knowledge comes from experience. • Imagination is important. • Do what interests you the most. • Stay curious.

But these are super complex areas requiring deep industry experience and strategic analysis skills. Think you can help? We have an opening for an experienced product manager in either the SF Bay area (careers.google.com/jobs/resu…) or Waterloo, Canada (careers.google.com/jobs/resu…)

On the Chrome team we're taking some exciting, if tentative, first steps in these directions with projects like WebID (github.com/WICG/WebID/blob/m…) and Secure Payment Confirmation (github.com/rsolomakhin/secur…).

The movement to improve privacy on the web is a unique opportunity to radically improve how identity and payments work on the web, making them not just more private, but also more pleasing for users and effective for businesses. 1/3

Really neat to see this in the wild!
New and important for app and website developers: With iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, you can harden your SMS-delivered one-time codes against phishing with domain-bound codes. All it takes is a small tweak to your message format. developer.apple.com/news/?id…

Just did a quick test and boi oh boi — the upcoming `content-visibility` CSS property has the potential to be one of the biggest performance improvements to SPAs (if properly leveraged) I've seen in a long time.

M84 just hit my phone and I saw WebOTP working on a stable build for the very first time in our demo app. Wow, what a ride. Looking forward to seeing it in the wild in a real world app. Onward!!

This is awesome! The impact on WPT browser-specific failures is clear too (check out the drop at the end of the graph) - stephenmcgruer.github.io/wpt…

For years I've heard people (Eg. chat app developers) ask: how can I just keep my scroller reliably stuck to the bottom. Snap points finally makes this easy (without need for script!) web.dev/snap-after-layout/
