    We share a lot in common with those design principles, yes. Ultimately though I don't believe in modeling as a sort of "pure" thing that you can do in advance of coding. Our tools …

    So, something that is very clearly true is that was need to make the website better :). We aren’t being vague on purpose! Most people who go to our website have gone with an idea o…
