Hey! Thanks for the nice words!
You're correct about the intonation, and thank you for pointing out that example. Before we run the text through speech synthesis, we try to adjust it to be suited to conversational language. While this helps to address most intonation issues, there are still a few that slip through.
Another challenge we face is using domain-specific language, like C#. It's a bigger issue, but we're actively exploring different solutions to overcome it.
Glad you're finding this to be a useful service, we will be covering a lot more than HN.
