Udacity has done what any good start-up should and launched a solid MVP and iterated on it, delivering free, in-demand courses in a short amount of time. No, the materials and scripts have not always perfect but they are still more valuable than many college courses I've taken. If he is in fact leaving to focus energy on Udacity, isn't that a positive move in regards to your critiques?

Colors are certainly a significant part of user experience, so although I agree that these issues exist, I disagree with the solutions.

Comments shouldn't be pink/red because they are not necessarily a bad thing. Just make them bold and opaque.

Changing to blue and yellow for diffs is equally as wrong as red/green but more confusing. Blue signifies safe information and yellow signifies warning. It would be better to use the same color for deletions and additions but make deletions darker to show they are stale/rotted and additions brighter to show freshness.

I'm sitting here (Detroit suburbs) trying to read this article while the lawn service is outside cutting, trimming, and blowing. Recently I've been looking at houses closer to the city, but considering northern Canada at this point.

It was fun anyways. Applying really lit a fire under my ass. Since September, I learned a ton about web development and starting a business.
