A follow-up.

There has been some great conversation around the opinion piece. Having read all
200+ comments on YCombinator and Gist GitHub, I think it's most productive to
respond to them all in this follow-up piece.

The piece will be structured by looking at what I think are the most relevant
critiques and comments, followed by adding context to others' comments, and
