Because instrumenting the frontend should be easy. (Let's just say that's the visible part of the iceberg). We've opened up the hood in a new way, enabling full x-ray visibility into the frontend (and a lot more that will surface in due time). Ok, we know. That's a little cryptic. We look forward to being able to say more, and in the meantime, if you're really curious, try reverse-engineering what we're doing from our jobs page. You'll see we have some tasty ingredients.
