This is awesome.

One observation: maybe in this case, including the number of subscribers is actually a deterrent for getting people to subscribe. I'm talking about the "Join over 1100 subscribers." line.

You may be triggering a "damn, I'm going to have to compete with that many other developers for the same handful of jobs?" response instead of the usual "If that many people trust this guy with their email, it must be OK for me to give it" one that this best practice suggests.

That's a good point, even though 1100 is really not that much of a competition when you think about it. Five or more jobs per week, each requiring different skills, it really adds up in job opportunities. But I get your point - it makes a negative psychological effect, I'll consider removing it. Thanks!

Agreed - perhaps a better metric would be the number of open positions?

funny, because it works both ways either you find the number big or small: "I'm competing against too many people" or "there is nobody on this half dead site".
