author here! sorry for the broken footnote links, i fixed 'em.

There's a lot of documentation of those players' heroin and alcohol use. Miles Davis' autobiography has a list in it somewhere of all the players that were abusing substances; a lot of it had to do with their need to play gigs back-to-back through the night to make a living. As for the schedules, I think it was Miles' book, but I can't find it exactly ... because they played all night, and rehearsed early in the morning after the clubs closed, it was hard to keep a group on a predictable recording schedule. The majors wanted big names with well-known hit songs, and the loose ensemble nature, original compositions, and unpredictable improv of bebop was pretty much the opposite of commercially viable at the time.

Scott DeVeaux's The Birth of Beebop is a great source, too.

fixed that one too! thanks!

oh, you're totally right. good catch! i'll fix it in a minute.

author here! i think putting the unit in the header also works just fine. it's the same "ink" either way, so it comes down to particular usage.

color-wise, one of the strongest reasons to not use color is the exact situation you mentioned; in some countries (namely, china), green values are negative and red are positive.

This is definitely speaking to me — I like being able to switch between tools, depending on the project, but dislike the silos most tools (trello, google sheets / airtable, canvas / google docs / text) create around structured data.

Glad you found it useful :)

I like how readable it is, but nesting selectors:

  .parent .child .element {

is bad for performance — thus BEM's:

  .parent--child__element {

I think the difference might be in giving yourself a pat on the back, as opposed to looking to everyone around you to validate your success. The 'everyone gets a sticker' mentality is totally harmful. That's why it's important to realize success on your own terms — you don't need the sticker.
