I did a BK search earlier in the article and ended on the same page, decided I couldn't be bothered to play those sort of games and clicked away. The GPs link actually looks rather interesting so I'll investigate, so take this a hate-it-folk vote.

Understandable; let me ask a a question. You don't want to play these sort of games (read a paragraph, enter a word). For you, browsing to find a compelling devtool, what makes you say, this is legit? Can you share examples of a couple of sites that do exactly what you are after?

I say that not because we wanted the CLI homepage to be 'legit', the light context there is we needed a way to quickly change direction from a previous failed initiative that added stark category marketing across the classic site... so took the opportunity to do purposefully do something very different from conventions, rightly or wrongly.

I'd never heard of BK before and I see some positive opinions on HN; I manage a small company's CI, we're really rather happy with GitLab CI, but I'm always on the lookout for something better. Clicking through to your page I'm looking to quickly find out what are the features, why it's different, how much it costs ... and for that a boring, routine website is what I'm hoping for. I'm very much not against the command-line (most places I work people complain that I use the command line when "there's this really good GUI"), but command-lines are hard, they need to be learned -- when I'm just looking for the outline as to whether it's worth digging further I really don't want to have to learn your command-line in order to get it, boring and routine is better. Just one grunt's personal opinion -- best of luck with the business!

Nah that's great, and valuable. I hear you on, boring and routine likely facilitates further digging. Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it!
