Do you wish you would have done anything from the beginning with DEV that you didn't get around to until recently?

On the flip-side did you do anything in the beginning that looking back you realize you didn't really need to do?

The process of going open source was way more difficult because it wasn't a day one thing, but now that it's been almost a year it's hard to imagine a time where we weren't open source.

You can look back into our commits migrations to find about a million things we added and didn't use and later removed. But I wouldn't want that to force us to get too narrow with our ideas around product.

Besides the many little things, I can't point to anything that we did that didn't serve our longterm learnings.
