Technical lead at Google, author for O’Reilly, specification contributor at the W3C. Reset style sheet co-inventor—then wild opponent—, framework and library critic, code purist. These are some key words that describe Jens Oliver Meiert. Jens’s approach to web development is about one thing: quality, tailored to the tasks at hand. His writings, at times provocative, a little haphazard, reflect that as his understanding of good code. Sometimes there is nothing more to say.
