Luring Devs by Cutting Down the Time to First "Hello World"
summary
Claims the team cuts time to a working API call to seconds by replacing setup with a one‑click demo: account signup needs email + phone verification, then a button launches Codeanywhere cloud IDE with preloaded auth and code samples pulled from Docker Hub via GitHub Actions. Presents a concrete funnel — 3s/30s/3min rule — and shows the live demo building and running in the browser; demo has minor jitters but the integration works and yields an immediate Hello World without local setup.
