I definitely wasn't disappointed. In fact it was refreshing; I didn't realize how hard of a problem other people considered Continuous Deployment (and in fact, how little other people had considered it at all). I also didn't mean to rag on news.yc, on average the responses here are better than the original posts which is an unparalleled level of quality. I left the technical issues unspecified in my first post on Continuous Deployment, and the comments on that post already had started discussing the path of solutions we ended up building ourselves! I still have another post to write about this, because we also ship a native windows client. We ship daily prereleases of it, and roughly biweekly full releases (offered to all users). That's close to, but not quite as impressive, as the update system that google chrome uses. Google definitely still has us beat in certain categories.
