I'd rather see a few items from the new page on the front page, separate from everything else. As far as making it longer, I usually click over to the second page of new submissions before I give up. I have no idea if that's typical, though

But he said "they don't care", as if pursuing a career writing software usually means you aren't interested in those absolute truths. And I'm saying maybe you are, but you want your job to be about something else. Purely scientific question
