I didn't say I disagree with his statement. I'm saying, maybe more implied, that I'm not going to hire someone who displays a lack of interest in finding a real solution to a real problem that has to do very much with what they're trying to build. And on top of that shows a serious streak of entitlement and a lack empathy towards the very service they're essentially abusing and not even paying for.
I wonder how many times CocoaPods has ruined someone's day/night on some GH team. I wonder how many dinners some mom or dad has missed with their kids because their service alarms are going apeshit. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that if you are a top 10 repo at Github, you are responsible for ruining individuals days and taking time away from their families if you are hammering the system.
Now, these are entirely my opinion and I'm not saying alloy is bad at what they do. I'm saying that is a collection of attitudes that I'm not going to put on my team.

- johnnyfaehell 11y agoI think it is a hyperbolic statement to say they're responsible for ruining people's days. Let's think this through and ask ourselves a few question. 1. Did they go out there way to do damage? 2. Are they responsible for deciding the infrastructure and how well it can handle with load? 3. Did they force said people to work at GitHub? 4. Is the open source culture and hosting a major part of GitHub business plan? 5. Are they responsible for staffing to ensure people are scheduled to work when work needs some?
