I, Steve K, am back from the Land of Oz and am excited to talk to you guys about the great work the Dev team did while I was away. I had mentioned before I left that the new developers were going to cut their teeth on our backlog of outstanding bugs and boy did they deliver. The new developers are really proving themselves by diving into more complicated issues and starting to show some mastery of the codebase. The Dev team has been in a holding pattern as we went through the hiring and training process. This week really felt different. For the first time in weeks we closed some serious ground toward our commitment to polish the platform and lay the groundwork for cool new features.
