oh gosh it's too long. who can post a brief version here? if it's a story, what's the end?

My reaction is Heroku should drop their price too.

Backend has become simple enough that you wouldn't have to pay much attention. The great design of this website has anything specific to do with its Rails backend?

Everyone under this branch made good points. Graduated from a top company with valuable experience is definitely a plus for this kinda scenario, but from my experience it's not a must.

The worst is they shut down the product and the team was assigned work in unrelated area. I would say most of the time these companies just want to control the future of the product, it's more a defensive act.

The easiest way and properly the right way to send email is in plain text. I would be happier if the package can add a parser to read all meta data from text, in the way of HTTP header processing.
