The ease of updating Ember apps is really great. I've helped take apps through the early 2.x to latest 3.x. There has been some tedious work involved, but on the whole, I usually know exactly what to do to get the new features. Not breaking existing features is a godsend, because the rest of the team can keep developing features and we can introduce new features via lint rules at a reasonable pace.

Speaking of newsletters, I'd like to voice my love of tinyletter.com. I used it for the first time in 2010 and it's just as awesome 5 years later after the Mailchimp acquisition. I just started another newsletter on it last week and love the experience of using it. (Not posting the newsletter here because I don't want more subscribers and it's off topic), but yes. TinyLetter is <3.

I would ranodomize it. I don't want to see all the positions for the same company one after the other. Also, the Filter section froze (maybe because it was still attempting to load all the filters? Maybe pagination would fix that?)

Is there a way to redirect all[1] requests to index.html? The use case is an Ember app that uses history location and is deployed as a static website. In this case, requests to `/whatever` still need to serve index.html and let Ember handle the routing. Can GAE app.yaml specify rules like this?

I ran into this problem with S3 and ended up writing a simple server to handle it and deploying to Heroku.

[1] By all, I mean all except the ones to /assets or something similar.

I haven't contributed much to the community or the code, but I've been around the chatrooms and keeping up with the story for around a year now. (also been actively using ember on personal and work projects). The community around Ember is amazing and it blows my mind how so many people have been working so passionately on this project. Congratulations to the team. Really well done.

In 9th grade I memorized and delivered the I Have a Dream speech for my English Honors program. I memorized it by reading it over and over again and I also found an audio recording that I burned onto a CD and listened to 10 times every night. It took me 16 minutes to deliver the whole speech (in costume). I have no idea where I found the audio recording now, although NPR sounds right.

I've had this conversation before in different terminology. I was concerned that a majority of service based businesses were building castles in the clouds and creating a bubble. Naval of Angellist recently tweeted something similar [1]. Essentially, it comes down to this: the more layers of abstraction you build, the farther you get from solving real problems. I guess this is the epitome of consumerism though.
