jordanf··on Ask HN: Is it normal to fall out of love with coding?
I've been on both sides, and I interview a lot of engineers now as a product person. If I heard this from an interviewee, especially given your context in this thread, I would not view it as indecisive. To the contrary, I would credit the interviewee as ambitious and a lifelong learner.

jordanf··on Ask HN: Does anyone here have an art degree?
Well said.

Similar path here. I'd just add that visual design (and to a lesser extent, interaction design and ux design) is becoming commoditized due to common CSS libraries and patterns, WYSIWYG website building tools, more accessible design tools like Sketch, and a general convergence and consensus on best practices.

I switched to web development from product/digital design, then more recently to iOS development. I'm really glad I have a design background, especially with iOS/mobile where users have a higher experience bar, and where pretty much any interaction is not just achievable but easy.

http://bassoon.io

A heart-rate monitor for ecommerce conversion rate.

Most small-to-mid size ecommerce companies throw up their hands in frustration trying to use Google Analytics.

Bassoon rescues them by slicing off their most important metric (conversion rate) and emailing it to them every day, or alerting them when conversion rate drops suddenly for any reason.

We integrate with Shopify and Magento, making it one-click easy for merchants to get started.

jordanf··on Ask HN: What are some cheap idyllic places with lots of nature?
Chattanooga, TN checks the boxes. Fiber internet, affordable, tons of outdoor activities. Outside magazine rated it best place to live in the US 2015 [0]. You can live just outside the city and be surrounded by nature, and the tech scene is growing.
