it's a really confusing page. I couldn't find it either...


Makes me think about dopamine, seriously.

Many of the comments here on hacker News are talking about how like difficult it is to find a linked download to get the video so that you can watch the video so that you can go lull and share meme videos about cats playing pianos and what not. Dopamine junkies talk like this.

So perhaps there's a need for a dopamine specialist, or a dopamine hit specialty in software development and product management?

Certainly marketing exists but marketing has become such a fuzzy wuzzy taboo subject and I think you know we'd like to just inject it all straight into our veins ..

.. so how about making a role in open source projects called the Dopamine Optimizer?

That way we could celebrate the intention, making a delicious physically resonant software tool? Functionality is a joy, for sure, there's an intellectual Joy to programming, yes, but social acceptance and the delight that comes from having our brain glands squirt out dopamine is an underappreciated aspect of I think the work that a lot of us may do.


this is basic design 101. Well designed content works better than badly designed content. If you want someone to read your page and find the button, the onus of making it readable is on you. And there's plenty of pretty basic techniques to achieve that. No need to be a "dopamine specialist".
