Title: blog post review

Thanks for giving me a sneak peek at this article.

Besides from a few proof-reading typo corrections I don't have alot to add. It's very thorough and well written.

I get why you don't get into alot of really complex examples - it's long enough as it is and there's enough juice already. But I really miss an example of using a preprocessor transform. Especially compileLessToCss.

You make the point that building your website so that it works in the browser is not just a tedious requirement for making assetgraph work - but also something that will improve the quality of life for frontend-developers. LESS is a perfect example of this.

The compileLessToCss transform paired with less.js in the browser or something like livestyle (or a dev server with comiless) is the pinacle of frontend-developer convenience. You write and store less in your repository and have it transparently compiled with no build steps, and even compiled with the smallest amount of overhead possible at the end.
