Nice job keeping your app up during the outage but I'm not sure you can say "the whole thing seems kinda shoddy" when they're handling the amount of traffic they are.
It’s pretty much textbook to have a primary CTA above the fold on a landing page like this.
Would love to see examples of nice landing pages that _don’t_ do this and also aren’t big enough companies that you’ve already heard of them (10b plus companies may not need to do this as they’ve earned the scroll in brand recognition and likely have more than one product line).
This reply irked me a bit because it clearly comes from a software engineer’s point of view and seems to miss a key equivalence between software & physical engineering.
Yes a new tool is coming out and will be exponentially improving.
Yes the nature of work will be different in 20 years.
But don’t you still need to understand the underlying concepts to make valid connections between the systems you’re using and drive the field (or your company) forward?
Or from another view, don’t we (humanity) need people who are willing to do this? Shouldn’t there be a valid way for them to be successful in that pursuit?
If it doesn’t psych you out too much, trying to engage with the crowd maybe once per set or every other set could be a good way to force the habit and make it easier over time.
Not that it’s necessary for all styles, but when I’ve been to comedy shows in the past the people who are able to deal with the crowd really well are always the most impressive to me :)
I appreciate the in-depth look into your architecture in the linked posts. Have you considered open sourcing / selling that database solution by itself?
I can see how it'd speed up dev time for my team, I'd be curious to hear how something like that (reactive no-sql frontend for a SQL DB) would work for others outside of Vue.
