Ask HN: Best Dev Tool pitches of all time?

Hey folks! I'm trying to actively get better at pitching developer tools. So I had the idea of collecting an inspiration list of the "best of all time". Would like to crowdsource this! The vibe I'm going for is pitches that left you with a clear "before" and "after" division in your life where you not only "got it" but also keep referring to it from that point onward. Obvious candidate for example is DHH's 15 minute Rails demo (and i've been told the Elixir Liveview demo is similar) and Solomon Hykes' Docker demo. What other pitch is like that? (or successfully pitches a developer tool in a different way, up to your interpretation) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31782200 Points: 37 # Comments: 17 from Hacker News: Front Page https://ift.tt/2qfJygA via
