I think the example given in this blog post might need a "health warning" that steps should, generally, be doing more than just printing "hello".

I can imagine that the reads and writes to Postgres for a large number of workflows, each with a large number of small steps called in a tight loop, would cause some significant performance problems.

The examples given on their main site are a little more meaningful.

I really dislike this. Sure...it's fun, but where did I "sign up" to allow others to see where my mouse pointer is? How do I disable it? What else, from my machine, is being captured and broadcast?

I spotted a typo on your site. It was then I realised that you have nothing in the way of "contact us" or "who are we?" or any other way to get hold of you.

I'm not sure I'd want to give my infra keys to a team where the only way I can contact you is Trello, and I have no idea who I'm working with.

Do you give customers more details before signing up, or is the idea to remain this anonymous?

ps. The "How This Works" FAQ has the typo "udpates"

If I were you I'd create a brand new HN account and ask for advice there. That's the most compassionate and un-troll-like thing I can imagine anyone doing.

(I really hope you're not seriously asking HN for advice on this. If this is a genuine request for advice, you have plenty of it now. Please go and be a compassionate human and support your co-founder. Consider deleting this post before they get to see it for themselves)

> The reactions have ranged from shock to immediate understanding.

The shock makes some sense (you were leaving after a short period of time), but where did their "immediate understanding" come from?

It sounded like your main issue was that the work wasn't as advertised. Is that common for Shopify hires?

100% sarcasm

I agree. A headphone jack would make so much sense.
