#2Anyone know what their 30-day users looks like? It seems like a lot of people created accounts to try it, and this is growing, but it doesn't tell us anything about churn.

#3I'm surprised PG is commenting on registered users and exponential curves. Do you really think they are all programers? Why are we not seeing a graph for DAU?

#4This level of user engagement is fantastic but does it translate to actual revenue growth? Or is this only a hockey stick of expenses that will eventually run the company dry?

He's just pushing some stock that he owns.

That's what I'd be curious about too. I made an account to check it out, but didn't use it after that.
I also suspect if people are linking to it in tutorials as a way to get an immediate environment there might be a lot of new signups that don't stick around.
Is anyone on HN using this consistently day-to-day for something?

Yeah, this is a meaningless number without additional context.
I'm reminded of a project a while back where the business only cared about user acquisition...not retention. It does not exist any longer, and was never profitable. But they exceeded their target numbers every quarter (until it was killed by upper management for having no path to profitability)
