Consider using more inclusive language (re: "Rails guy", "right guy")

Yes. The post was also heteronormative.

  Companies with a female founder: 25 (21.93%)

  Companies with a Black founder: 9 (7.89%)

  Companies with a Hispanic founder: 6 (5.26%)
They should release the stats of the number of people overall, not the number of companies with at least one member who fits into one of those groups.

For example, say X% of the people are female, etc.

That's not true. I've gotten better, more detailed feedback from other companies. Things like: your approach for this coding challenge was X when you should have been doing Y.

I mentioned it because the company itself was plugged in the post.

Also there's a bit of irony involved, where they're extolling the virtues of data, but failing to provide proper interview feedback.

I had a lackluster interview experience at the company the author works for and mentions. After completing a coding challenge, I got a generic:

  "After deliberating, we have decided not to proceed with your application."
I asked for more specific feedback, from two different people, and got no response.

Don't forget about ethical veganism, whose reasoning doesn't involve health.

Almost every vegan I know is so for ethical, not health reasons.

Ah, I see. Cool.

Another idea: you could add a little box to the bottom of each section that says "Add your own", which would gradually lead into a sign-up, as well.

Since this is a UX site, here's my impression:

I found the landing page a little confusing.

"Edit my Free Checklist"

I don't have a checklist to edit, I think this should say Create a Free Checklist?

Also once I clicked that, and it took me to /accounts/new, I just clicked Checklist in the top bar to view the checklist, which is what I originally wanted to see.

It'd be cool if when you clicked something on /welcome/checklist, it did a 'gradual' sign-up and say something like: "Do you want to save this?".
