Acronyms Seriously Suck - Elon Musk

From time to time, Musk will send out an e-mail to the entire company to enforce a new policy or let them know about something that's bothering him. One of the more famous e-mails arrived in May 2010 with the subject line: Acronyms Seriously Suck:

There is a creeping tendency to use made up acronyms at SpaceX. Excessive use of made up acronyms is a significant impediment to communication and keeping communication good as we grow is incredibly important. Individually, a few acronyms here and there may not seem so bad, but if a thousand people are making these up, over time the result will be a huge glossary that we have to issue to new employees. No one can actually remember all these acronyms and people don't want to seem dumb in a meeting, so they just sit there in ignorance. This is particularly tough on new employees.

That needs to stop immediately or I will take drastic action - I have given enough warning over the years. Unless an acronym is approved by me, it should not enter the SpaceX glossary.

Semantic UI fonts with Webpack in a Chrome extension

To get Semantic UI fonts working:

  1. npm install semantic-ui-css

  2. Import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.css' in your entry script. The exact syntax for this varies depending on your chosen module format: import for ES6, require for CommonJS, etc. This tells Webpack to pull the CSS into your bundle.

  3. npm install --save-dev style-loader css-loader
