Release. Iterate. Repeat.
But at a pretty hefty cost. Definitely wasn't ready for prime-time, but it's here and they're going to be pretty busy over the next month or so re-integrating v3 philosophy and stabilizing the new back end.

- mcgraw 16y agoThat's great, but to be clear: Release - Ship it, get it out there for public consumption Iterate (on your release) - Refine what you just shipped however you see fit (bugs, missing features) Repeat - Ship what you've refined and begin iterating on what you've released
- flipp 16y agoThis wasn't an iteration. This was changing pretty much the foundation of the site in a massive redesign they've been working on for months.

- mcgraw 16y agoThat was a magnified iteration on many levels which people are not used to seeing -- design, philosophy, code. They didn't simply release a new look, they released what they believe is fixing what they felt was broken in prior versions, ie., left/Right wing bury machines, power users. Ultimately, they released a product that wasn't ready for public consumption despite being in Beta for several weeks. Had their algorithms worked effectively, preferences to change the default behavior existed, and a stable back-end in place we might be singing a different tune.
