Completely and totally agree! Don't lose faith we will get there I promise.

You can absolutely approach it that way, but AFAIK those are highly integrated but still discrete solutions. Temporal provides a unified model for these things instead of requiring people to stitch things together themselves. Due to Temporal handling all of the things, you also get additional value out of the centralization (you can see the live source of truth for any running business process).

I do agree that Temporal is heavyweight both in terms of the learning curve and deployment requirements.

For disclosure I’m the Head of Product at Temporaly. We know things can be better and we are working on it.

Hey, I'm Ryland and I work at Temporal.

Temporal provides a unified backend for automatically managing implicit application state that is normally stored in transient queues, databases etc. Furthermore, Temporal does this without explicitly requiring the developer to think about and manage the state themselves. This means developers spend way more time building stuff that actually matters, and less time writing buggy reliability code.

I personally find the best way to explain it is with an analogy. Back in the late 90s many developers built applications with C and therefore had to manage their own memory. For a long time, this was not wasted effort as it was the only real option. But then, Java came around and offered an experience where developers didn't have to manage their memory. And for the majority of apps, the performance and capabilities of Java were more than sufficient. At this point, writing the average application in C meant you were doing a serious amount of undifferentiated work. Furthermore, most developers weren't that great at memory management so choosing to do it by hand meant more work for a worse result.

The value proposition of Temporal is nearly identical, but instead of manually managing memory with C, developers are manually managing state using queues, CRON services, databases and more. The result is a bunch of time spent doing undifferentiated things that a computer would have done better anyway.

Hey, I'm the head of product at Temporal. I would love to understand what you mean by this.

This is a very cool concept.

SEO is definitely a big part of this problem

Netlify (free) + and static site builder. My blog (the one this article is on) was built with Gridsome (uses Vue.js). I personally like it a lot.

Other options are, Jekyll, Gatsby, Hugo and many more. Netlify will make any of those free.

They are specifically making that process harder and harder. That's partly why HackerNoon left

I get your point but this is a really bad way to raise it.

I think Medium barely has a community. I also think you're right when you say

> I find the discussion of HOW to get communities onto better platforms to be a more interesting topic than why the current platform sucks, especially when that platform doesn't even seem to listen to the criticism.

But you need to remember that's a very progressive position. Most friends I have are completely unaware that Medium has become a crap platform
