Yup, duly noted. :)
However, now that it is out there in the wild, I am taking notes for what to do (and what NOT to do) the next time I post something. The 'published in a hurry' bit happened because I accidentally clicked the publish button instead of the save draft button. I am not entirely sure how to unpublish on Medium - or if such a thing was even possible. So I went ahead and posted it to HN expecting - very literally - nothing.
One way or the other, I'm getting to learn quite a few things now! :)
- pdonis 13y agoOne other item that I think is worth repeating, about the original presentation: the "click-through hell" commenter didn't choose the most tactful way to put it, but he had a point. :-) I know slideshows and videos are all the rage now, but a simple article or blog post has one big advantage over them: it's much higher bandwidth, at least for me, and I suspect for a large percentage of your target audience. I can read a lot faster than your video can run, or than your slideshow can go from slide to slide. If you don't give me a quick, high-bandwidth way to find out what you're doing, I'm not going to invest the time. [Edit: I see from comments elsewhere in this thread that you were not the author of the original presentation; but I still think the above is a good general rule to follow.]
