You're doing it right.
> the client usually doesn't know what comes next until they need it.
Do you know what comes next? If not then designing for requirements that may not exist is likely to take your code in the wrong direction.
This is a big claim that is not true in my experience. Dealing with highly ambiguous situations, talking people out of bad ideas and learning through collaboration works much better in person.
It might not be that hard if you're motivated and have that vision, but I can completely understand someone not wanting the added pressure after all this time.
A similar story for Python and NumPy on this point, mitigated by NumPy's elegant broadcasting rules. Agree with everything else!
SPA means Single Page Application.
The term is written in the third paragraph, but not clearly connected to the acronym.
Basically, what @okey said. Your company looks really cool, but financial security is a much stronger motivator for most people in the long term.
Look at what other people are offering in this thread, on Glassdoor, on angel.co and similar. I've never heard of a developer being paid £20k in London and I'd worry about working at a place that hired people at that rate.
You might be able to get someone fresh out of undergrad for £25k for your front-end role, but not a developer with proven skills. You might find a developer wanting to try out your lead role for £55-65k, but not someone who's already shown they can perform that role successfully.
Maybe you will get lucky and find the right people, but it's a gamble and any good people you find will probably not stay long. Anyway, I wish you luck despite my naysaying.

Anyway, best of luck - anything to improve the rental situation in London is very welcome!
Probably not at £55k either.
