Matt: Best Trash

A typography savant on staff had spent a month designing link underlines (literally just lines) that were more visually pleasing than Chrome or Safari’s defaults. On Tuesdays, engineers stayed late at the office, fixing design imperfections over dinner. One of them began a 2,500-word post about Medium’s CSS code with a quote attributed to Lil Wayne: “I believe that to be the best, you have to smell like the best, dress like the best, act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can, it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw their trash in the garbage can.”

From Harris Sockel’s essay What Happened to Medium, which I think is meant to be a dunk? But I think it’s awesome. Medium’s design and typography has always been really impeccable. I love when people obsess like this.
