Sales funnel feedback: I want to know what this will look like on my website to my users. That screenshot on the top isn't quite enough--I'm not sure which parts of that are my website and which are your widget. Is your widget alw

As someone who works in a WeWork, the "business services marketplace" aspect actually just feels like "oh also we bother you with advertisements all the time"

It's on our list! Out of curiosity: is Go actually your most comfortable language? Or are you just interested in using Interview Cake to get some more practice with it?

Not yet! Edit: but it'd make a good one, right?

Definitely the least rigorous part of the process :) Some combination of: - Did they catch stuff that the other reviewers didn't catch? - Of the stuff they did catch, does it look to us like that's actually stuff that'll help

No specific plans yet. But notes like this are how we decide which languages to add next! Curious: what language do you currently use on the site? And how painful is it for you to not have Go or Rust? (Also, you're talking about having

We have a team of like a dozen and a half contractors from around the world who do the translations. It was important to us to not just translate our Python into C++, but to have C++ that was actually good, C++-style C++. So we hired C++ ex

Yeah, agreed. I'm thirsty for that install rate but more importantly I want us to be a force for good. Fixed in master. Not freaking pushing while we're sitting at #1 unless I have to tho :P Edit: Thanks for the note!

Awesome! Good luck with the onsites! When you get stuck, don't get worried or frustrated. Get excited about getting to play around with a hard problem.

Yep!

That is soooo great to hear because every time we "finish" writing a new piece we end up spending literal /months/ obsessively polishing it before taking it live. I always worry that we're just spinning our wheels.

Oh iiinteresting I guess we are doing that! Probably not too hard to fix. Thanks for pointing that out! They used to be just inline svgs (instead of img tags), but (at least a couple years ago) our research suggested using img tags was bett

Iiiiinteresting. Definitely agree that the first half of the article isn't exactly data structures yet. But I just struggle with calling something "An inroduction to X." Have you ever heard "an introduction" and tho

I'm thinking a lot about folks who come out of coding "boot camps." Those folks for the most part have /heard/ of "RAM" and "disc," but might not know why they both exist and what each one does.

Eep. Second person to say that in this thread. We had it in one of those gray boxes in an earlier draft (so you didn't have to click anything to see it). We'll probably move it back out.
