Rich made some interesting points on developing libraries in such a manner that it doesn't introduce breaking changes (for the calling code). Does anyone here agree (or have counterpoints) to his suggested approach?

All your points (1 through 4) matched with what was looking for. I chose Clojure. It's Lispy, focuses on immutable data (but not necessarily pure functions), has a version (cljs) that compiles to javascript (if you're writing web-

Good point. In (email) targeted recruiting, the recipient will check the company out first. Isn't it worthwhile to build what they would like to see?

IMO Glassdoor reviews suffer from extremity bias. For some reason, most reviews there either sound artificial or angry. More importantly, glassdoor gathers "what people think of a company". Isn't it more interesting to know &

Linkedin public profile URLs are notoriously clumsy to remember and share. I am curious how many people signed up for this.

I think the OP's argument is that a lot of reactive feature-building (irrespective of how they are organized) is a bad idea - especially in the early stages of a product.

1) Its hard to say anything conclusively from a conversion perspective yet. 2) A lot of visitors go to the tour before signing up. That is also where they spend most time. 3) Not really. Most pages are still in a transition, and we're tryi
