He usually posts these brilliant explanations once or twice a year but nothing in 2025. I hope he finds the time to continue because the lessons are really really brilliantly told.

Front end, back end analytics?
front end : seller analytics, https://influencermarketinghub.com/amazon-analytics-tracking...
back end : ebpf, https://github.com/zoidbergwill/awesome-ebpf
front end, i'll look through the list. thanks for that.
i've been looking at lists for a couple of days. lots of stuff out there and now i have analysis paralysis. was hoping someone would strongly suggest one and i'd be done with thinking about it :)

MixPanel has been a joy to use. We mostly used to slap on the GA script tag out of simplicity, but found:
- data collection is slow- you get your daily stats sometimes 10 hours after the previous day ends which just feels wrong. On Mixpanel, we see our events as they come in.
- The experience is poor from a visitor perspective.
- Tracking events feels less than ergonomic.
MixPanel's event-centric data has made A/B testing 100x easier
I've used Mixpanel before and do like it. From what I remember it wasn't as easy to get going as with GA script. You have to create each event you'd like to track, is that the case still?
