Very nice work.

I am a bit torn on this though: http://i.imgur.com/QBEWQQc.png

It does not look simple enough with all the >>> characters.

If you are not familiar with the python shell, I am not sure that you will be able to understand which lines are commands and which lines are results. There must be a better way to do this.

More code examples would also be a welcome change IMHO.

I really hate saying this because I know it must have taken a lot of work to get to this stage... but it looks very 2005. Fewer gradients and shadows and try to slim down the menus and columns. I know the current site isn't exactly a beauty, but I liked how it had a Wikipedia-like gravitas. This design looks too young for the audience.

I felt the same. The design looks pretty older to me, as well those sans types makes my eyes bleed.

The `>>>` added to links with the `:before` selector adds a right margin that becomes an unclickable area between the decoration and the actual link. Using padding instead of margin will fix that.

I like it!

A usability annoyance: when I hover over "Blog", and then move my mouse to click the first blog article's headline, the menu changes to "success stories".

At [1] they discuss how Amazon fixed that (HN discussion at [2]).
