Many times a language develops into an option by bundling features. In Gleam’s case, they bundled a certain type system, extreme developer convenience, and optionally features from BEAM.

Super cool product. Especially interested in the grinder. I recently purchased a Niche Duo and was not very impressed in the upgrade from a Zero. Kind of wished I would have gone a different direction entirely. Maybe something like yours.

Regarding the website, I was on mobile and it seemed fine. I like the very Apple-y product showcasing. I think it’s fun.

Regarding the espresso machine, I think people are being very silly about the plastic and external heating source.

A tube going into kettle? Like, people are consuming 10x as much plastic eating beans out of a can or getting a coffee to go from their local shop.

The external heating source is also exactly how Modbar works. I think it’s cool you don’t double or triple the price by basically doing what Modbar does. A nice kettle can hold temps to approximate levels pretty well.

I think people should see this for what it is: a specialty espresso machine. It could be a statement piece, or perhaps a really interesting option for great espresso depending on how it performs. Have you tried to get it in front of daddy Hoffmann?

I want to know what they think. I also stylistically like the directness of “I” and “you”. Not everything needs to be written abstractly, academically, or in business-speak.

Also, your comment starts with “I”.

So it made sense to me that a physical erasure prior to recommission would be good. There’s also regulatory/compliance checkboxes (be them effective or not).

Sometimes we would send out new ones to replace the old. When we got the old ones back, it was always unclear how to purge and recommission SSD/NVME drives.

My best attempt was using GNU shred, but it wasn’t recommended for flash-based storage back then.
