I'm glad you disagree, although I'm not sure that is what he meant, but I am intentionally replying with way more technical detail than I would ever post onto the forums on a consumer focused site. This is a developer site, developers like to know details... sometimes they may even learn from these details... or they may have ideas on how we could do it better and we could learn from you.
I'm capable of turning our explanations into what you see on most websites when there is a glitch... which is essentially nothing ("We had some temporary back-end issues that have now been resolved..." ... wow, that's informative. We know you had issues, the site was down... what issues and why won't they happen tomorrow?) but I don't think that would be anywhere near as useful (or entertaining in some cases) as telling you what is actually going on.
Erik (Human Compiler) and Nathan (who you haven't met yet, but we will fire up our videos again now that we have so many things to tell you about) are even working on a plan that would let you switch the site into debug mode to see uncompressed script and uncrunched CSS if you wanted to. I'm not sold on the idea yet, but I think that gives you an idea of how we see the Niners... as developers like us, not like users who have no interest in the development process that goes on behind the scenes.
We aren't the Visual C# team, working all day on the type of code I haven't written since university (like a compiler), we are working on the kinda of code that many of you write all the time.
