Kool aid is so good!
Maybe you should consider making a more detailed and interesting argument than throwing out a catchy rebel phrase. Then you could actually have a discussion with people! Unless you just wanted to throw out the catchy but ultimately insightless line and then walk away while donning sunglasses. Remember, cool guys don't look at explosions.

Some of the projects (e.g., jepsen) are quite impressive. I bet that displays like this one beat any office perk when it comes to hiring.
Make sure you check out https://aphyr.com/tags/jepsen if you have't seen these write-ups before. Truly on another level.
This is just more corporate "work here!" marketing. If you have a soul, don't work at Stripe.
On the subject of the jquery.payment lib, I remember noticing that the validation functions it provides for various credit cards are not exactly the same as the ones in stripe.js, and actually better.

It ends up looking over-produced inauthentic and corporate. This is just more corporate "work here!" marketing. If you have a soul, don't work at Stripe.

(I'm an infrastructure engineer at Stripe) This actually took a fair amount of digging! We've been using some version of unilog for over 4 years now (longer than I've been at Stripe), and we'd mostly forgotten why we switched. What follows is more the result of historical exploration and guesswork than authoritative statement of original truth. I'm fairly confident that the impetus for unilog was timestamp prefixes f…
And an update! I talked with the engineer that wrote unilog originally. The original headline feature of unilog was that it wouldn't block writes if the disk filled up. multilog does - if it can't write a line to disk, it stops ingesting data off of stdin, which eventually causes the application to hang writing to stdout. unilog sends you an email and starts dropping log lines, which we decided better matched the tra…
Any chance you could let me click on a cell in the game of life in the background to add another cell? That would surely result in lots more time wasted on that page :)
