Rico is the largest such database anywhere, with 72,219 user interfaces (or UIs) from 9,772 Android apps across 27 Google Play categories, she says. It contains visual, textual, structural, and interactive design properties of each of those UIs, and can be searched by all three. "It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."

Can good design be cost-effective
Jeez, that's even a question?

Code reviews are a big part of writing software, especially when working within a team. It is important to have an agreed-upon etiquette for reviewing code within a team. Always lift the pinkie when expressing how awful the code is

JavaScript was made in a week, considered a hacky scripting language, and then became the most widely used programming language in the world.
Knowing that still doesn't help.
Still, a reasonable article, though it failed to mention something I do with code reviews, specifically when I conduct code reviews of my own code:
1) I conduct the code review to cover the good, the bad, and the ugly.
2) I ask myself the question "if I had to maintain this code, what would I want to know?"
3) I ask others to speak up if they see anything in my algorithms or structure that I'm doing wrong.
4) I often present alternate implementations with pros and cons (for example, using metadata and reflection vs. imperative code, using LINQ vs. "old style" coding.)
5) And most importantly, I don't lead code reviews of other people's code, I ask them to lead a code review of their own code.
The result is a learning experience for everyone (including me) and particularly the discovery of algorithm deficiencies or where comments would really be helpful.

The RoboBee project was first unveiled in 2013, when the bots were only capable of takeoff and flying. Since then, they’ve been modified to stick to surfaces and swim underwater, and now their creators say they’re able to dive in and out of water — a big achievement for a tiny robot bee. Still missing frickin' lasers
