Brilliant write up! Made me laugh a lot, especially the end with Haskell :)

absolutely, but at least there is some valuable information to be extracted.

Ahh sry, ok. Just wanted to share my impression. Then please can some mod delete my original post?

Of course, but there is also the valuable information you have to extract yourself, which is not the case for this "news sites"

I just read it and like it very much, especially for its brevity and because it is on-point.
If you have experience with low level languages, pointers, memory and actually have some programming experience, then this is your book, especially because it is so up-to-date.
But I would not recommend it to someone, who has no experience and wants to learn C as a first language.

For those interested in Segment, this is a talk of Peter Reinhardt about Product Market Fit and a bit of the history behind Segment.

I like this talk really much.

this is a similar solution for transfering files without storing. it requires both sender an receiver to be online at the same time. https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole

Congratulations!
To be honest, what I am most interested in, is how you got the people to actually care. So what exactly did you do for marketing? Did it just work, or how exactly did you achieve initial traction?

I have tried out loki, too. But I was not satisfied because you have to run an extra server for it. I have only a very small app so I was searching for a much simpler solution and found https://goaccess.io/ . The nice thing is that it is very flexible (you can pipe your logs in command line, but also run as a server) and if you are using standard tools like e.g. nginx or apache, the setup only takes an evening :)
Here are a few more monitoring tools listed https://turtle.community/topic/monitoring
It is always a question of complexity and how much time you want to spend :) At first I used Multitail to peek into server logs via ssh. Then I switched to GoAccess and if you really have a greater infrastructure I would maybe switch to Loki or ELK.
