This is a bad idea. You have to have a plan if you have a for-profit open source product. You need to give contributors something so they don't feel like they're being taken advantage of. It's complicated. It isn't as easy as just open sourcing it and asking for contributions.

Not really unfortunate. Unlike with money, inflation of version numbers doesn't cause that much trouble. It just takes some getting used to. I've gotten used to the high version numbers in Chrome and Firefox, and I'm sure I'll get used to them in projects that use semver the right way as well.

I hope this site, and others, serve to convince the community that Node isn't going to work, and to move forward with iojs instead. Even if the Node project fixed everything, I would still prefer iojs.

It has 9 points and some comments on the blog, so apparently some care. It exemplifies several patterns of job postings that are seen outside of Singapore, which makes it potentially useful for a lot of HN, while being in Singapore satisfies curiosity for some HNers like me.

It's debatable how much value there is in having a well-defined culture rather than one that just emerges, and also how to define one. I think the way the authors of this job posting define their culture is narrow-minded. A lot of people who aren't into a traditional lifestyle don't go out of their way to talk about it, in fact they lead a simpler life so they don't have to think so much about their lifestyle.

Edit: while I was typing this the number of points shot up to 15.
