I know it's a limitation of the open-source release, but man, playing Doom without the E1M1 music just feels... off. (Though great work, of course!)

This story amused me to no end. About 18 months ago, I worked on a team that made the (not unanimous) decision to build a hybrid app, and those who pushed for that technology pointed to LinkedIn and Facebook as the benchmark we should follow ("See, they use web code in an app! So should we!")
It's easy to say this with hindsight, but we really should have just picked the best technology for our team and product, instead of assuming that larger companies knew something special or magic that we didn't.
