Our back-end team sometimes adds calls to a new service that they're building to test the load, a lot like this! So the idea was in the air at OkCupid, so to speak. And with such a big new piece of infrastructure, I knew there would be problems, it's just how it works. So I wanted to get something into production really quickly to have something to troubleshoot against.

This looks great! One suggestion is that in full screen mode, the textarea doesn't stretch across the screen (it's a centered column) but since there are no borders it is hard to tell where the active area is. I think that clicking on the empty space outside of the main column could give focus to the textare, and that would have made it more clear for me.
