Hi HN!<p>I joined Hacker News 6 and 1/2 years ago and it's been a great community to be a part of. I was one of the early karma leaders and I remember writing a blog post (hilariously embarrassing now) about reaching the top spot with ~650 karma points. I'm sure tptacek and patio11 beat that nowadays before their morning coffee :)<p>I've only had about 300 visits to DevOpsU.com from HN so far, but of those, over 100 signed up on the email list to be notified of this book.<p>Given my history with HN and the early interest from here, naturally this is where I'm launching my first book. And here's a special early-bird HN discount link that's good for today's launch: http://gum.co/taste-test/hn<p>It's very important to me that this be available to everyone that wants it, so if you're a student or for any reason can't afford to buy the book, please contact me: matt@nanobeep.com<p>Of course, if you can afford it and it will be a win for you, please buy it and support the creation of more business-focused devops training.<p>Cheers!

I love the landing page - I was able to see WTF this thing was all about, and the email opt-in and buy links were persistent but not intrusive enough to piss me off :)<p>Have an upvote for doing IM right.
I use shell scripts for deploying and configuring new servers. Hope to move to CM soon. Bought your book so I can get a feel for the different choices.
