The kinetic typography is too jumpy. Its hard to follow and becomes distracting.

Dirt roads? gravel roads? And the bag keeps it together. But I'm also not a civil engineer so I'll take your word for it.

Why wouldn't a bag of sand or gravel work similarly? It's less viscous but pouring gravel into a hole and covering it can't take that much longer.

That is not an excuse for a bad user experience. No one (techie or not) wants to wait 10 minutes for their computer to restart or minute long autosaves.

I don't see anything wrong with this. There are a lot of posts on HN are looking for feedback, and criticism can very easily be mistaken for aggressiveness. Sure rudeness is rudeness but prepending "I don't mean to be..." in front of your s
