“Time to 200”? Why not “Zero to 200”? Feels closer to the car simile

“Time to 200”? Why not “Zero to 200”? Feels closer to the car simile
- edent 5y agoLots of people don't drive cars. I figured most programmers would be familiar with "Time To Live" (TTL).
- catlifeonmars 5y agoI thought it was a reference to “Time to Interactive”. https://web.dev/interactive/ https://web.dev/interactive/
- Scene_Cast2 5y ago0-100, as a concept, maps closer to your idea. I knew about TTL, but didn't make the connection until you pointed it out.
- follower 5y agoFor a non-HTTP specific phrase representing the same concept, I've tended toward "Time to first dopamine hit". :) That feeling of not being sure if a tool/API/service/SDK/library/hardware is going to work for your purposes and then you get that first example/test/demo running and get your first response... "Ok, yep, this is good! Now is it gonna let me change this small thing so I can..." And the positive feedback loop has begun! It's definitely a metric that impacts developer adoption & is IMO something that needs to be routinely tracked in order to reduce the time taken to get started & catch any unexpected regressions.
- purerandomness 5y agoIt's not a good analogy: * Zero is not a HTTP return code * You don't want to get all the returen codes up to 200, as you'd get with speed. You want HTTP 200 OK and nothing else.
