Never quite realized how much I disliked the term "Thought Leader" until I read it 5x in the comments responses of this thread.
I should have said domain expert instead. These two casually chosen words really riled them up

The author isn't exactly a thought leader in the space, or really any space for that matter. Opinion worth nothing.

He is known to be a womanizer and to have used his fame to sleep with women, and may have fathered some illegitimate children.
But the most damning is that apparently the FBI has an audio recording of him laughing and even giving encouragement while another man rapes a woman in a hotel room.
The same FBI that sent him anonymous letters, trying to encourage MLK to choose suicide?

I applaud their honesty, most companies would choose to keep customers in the dark while the investigate "an incident."
Interesting they made that bet on Ember... My only assumption is they made that bet a few years ago and have been working on the refresh that just went live. Seasoned Ember developers are going to be hard to come by not that they couldn't settle for any other JavaScript specialist. I'm debating on an Ember gig this very moment and am slightly bothered by the idea of spending a year on a framework that is on a downward popularity trend...
> downward popularity trend
Ember has always dwarfed by Angular and now more recently.. React. They simply have more marketing dollars behind them. That said, it has always had a strong community behind it, and believe it or not it's still growing strong.
I can bet uncompressed 10 Kb HTML file still would load faster.
And at that point I'd ask what are you optimizing for? Chances are JS is no longer your bottleneck.
Sorry, but I am going to comment on a technical implementation rather than the content of a site.
The site shows blank page without JS enabled. I did not understand why one would need one megabyte of minified Javascript to display a list of 10 items. Probably it is because the developers were too busy learning trendy JS frameworks and do not know about HTML and server side page generation (in PHP this could be done much easier without JS frameworks and API).
And to make page load even slower after loading a megabyte of Javascript they make an additional API request to load a list of links. Hey, you could just send this list as a HTML file from the start.
Also it looks like they do not know about HTML <script> tags and encode configuration as a value of a <meta> tag.
The page has small white padding below footer.

There is a very easy solution to this, which I believe Gmail employs: Place a very noticeable banner on the inbox when all your email is being forwarded to another address.
That's assuming everyone composes e-mails through the web UI. Maybe they don't want to make that assumption.
