Great ideas! Sounds like we generally agree. I read the whole post but didn't watch the video or read all of the 2.0 stuff... though I am aware how their DI hack works.

That said, the title of your post makes it sound like you think they're heading off a cliff, but your response to me sounds like the opposite... I was just responding to the tone set by the article.

I'll also agree that it is frustrating early in the AngularJS experience to hit that minification bug. But it's easy to get over also.

Yeah. I was mostly concerned about the fact that nobody was pointing this out.

If you read the [1] previous post you will see that I am remarkably positive about it. My concern was that the answer to working around the DI hack was always "dont do that".

Even ngmin is just a really elaborate way to 'dont do that'. With it's own issue queue and grunt plugin and almost 22000 hits on google.

From working on open source for a long time, I know that existing code also sets precedent. And i couldn't think of any way that you could keep using that code for the next 5-10 years without somebody thinking of something else 'clever' to do with it.

They devs realized that though, without me. which is great news. You are in awesome hands imo.
