I read through that whole article thinking,

   - I wonder what the UI looks like compared to tools I use now
   - I wonder if there will be a free tier, since my video needs are modest
It never occurred to me until I reached the end that this wasn't a "enjoy this tool we made" post, but instead a "look how awesome we are" post. :-/

I know quite a few people who worked on this and unfortunately this is effectively the product.

It’s a company that prioritizes micro services and enterprise style crud apps internally. I’ve seen so many of their presentations and it’s like an IBM demo.

It’s data , data, data. That’s their approach to everything.

they're streaming fantastic quantities of movies in HD, constantly.

why wouldn't data data data be their approach?

that and churning out design-by-keyword visual media

It’s fine, but it doesn’t make for nice to use tools or even interesting tools, which is what the person I responded to was talking about.

CRUD apps are great for what they are. Exciting they are not.
