Simple txt file is the best indeed. For easily creating a new file (from a template) everyday in VSCode, can recommend the vscode-journal extension.

Enough traffic.

Isn’t the biggest problem with A/B testing that very few web sites even have enough traffic to properly measure statistical differences.

Essentially making A/B testing for 99.9% of websites useless.

This. Ron Kohavi 1) has some excellent resources on this 2). There is a lot of noise in data, that is very often misattributed to 'findings' in the context of A/B testing. Replication of A/B tests should be much more common in the CRO industry, it can lead to surprising yet sobering insights into real effects.

We actually have a sidenote that mentions that GA can be used for event-based tracking, but we've decided to skip over it in v1 of the guide because it's missing some critical analytics functionality. We're focused on the big three event-based analytics tools for now, but are going to add more info on tools that can be used for event-based analytics, but aren't primarily designed for that purpose, e.g. Pendo, GA, etc.

Also, there's no mention at all of GA App+Web (launched August 2019) - which is clearly the future of Google Analytics and uses an event-based model.

In the early 80s, when I was 5 or 6, I got Basic for Beginners and Programming Tricks and Skills (along with a couple of other Usborne books which were about video games) from my local K-Mart in rural Australia.

These books kicked off my love affair with programming, and like many of you I was writing out code without even owning a computer! I remember trying to make a computer out of cardboard and graph paper, and was disappointed that it didn't work. The fact that I could comprehend a for loop before the laws of electricity is kind of trippy.

Anyway, these books were my introduction to a lifelong love affair with programming, and I owe my entire career to them.

At the risk of sounding like a greybeard, things were very different then. If you grew up in the Internet age, it may be difficult to grok that there was a time when information was scarce, and that just carrying around books like these gave you immense understanding and potential.

information was scarce indeed, till this day i still feel a little sorry i was not born 10 years later. Since when i learned (gw-)basic from the 3 books our public library had to offer i was full of enthusiasm, but after that my development practically stalled due to lack of information. Until the internet came around, but that was 10 years later and i was already in my early 20s :|

Main unique selling points over maps.google.com & others:

1) click to view; no more pegman dragging and dropping

2) splitscreen view of map & streetview
