> The workflow on election night, from my couch: edit some JSON, VPN into the NBC network, SSH into the server, git pull from master, pm2 restart all, text the producer that it's updated — then watch my change go out on air a few minutes later through Hulu. Doing that live in an emergency and seeing it on television minutes later is a pretty cool feeling.
Less "cool" and more asking for trouble if you make one misplaced comma, quote, or curly brace. The entire apps crashes and shows nothing to the broadcast audience or worse an error screen they'll screencap and meme.

Why is the input latency so bad on the display? The touch/draw visibly lags behind by 500ms or more, is that an issue with the software or with the hardware? Also seems to be an issue with registering touches, as Kornacki often has to press two or more times when toggling between screens.
IMO we should have the technology to make the input lag an order of magnitude smaller, right? I didn’t see any mention of latency on the blog post so I’m wondering if the author doesn’t see it as a problem.
