They really have been on a roll with the new features since the Dear Github letter happened
- StefanKarpinski 11y agoYeah. Before that I was really wondering what the heck they were doing with that $100M they raised. I mean, I get that GitHub Enterprise is a good moneymaker, but still.
- minimaxir 11y agoKeep in mind that these kinds of features were likely in development prior to the letter, although it's likely the letter accelerated the time table a bit.
- andrewstuart2 11y agoAnd probably informed internal prioritization a bit, perhaps bubbling to the top a few simpler yet more-desirable features.
- chris_wot 11y agoIf it got GitHub to roll things out faster, then good job to the letter writers and good job to GitHub! FWIW, I sent an email to Jono Bacon soon after that letter hit HN, and he was very polite and actually listened to my ramblings. I couldn't be more impressed. I'll be keeping my GitHub subscription :-)
- jrochkind1 11y agoEh... I don't know how confident I am in that.
- notatoad 11y agoThe previous stuff they've launched was clearly in development earlier, but canned responses is a fairly simple, high-visibility feature that easily could have been built in response to the open letter.
- mderazon 11y agoLooks like they are mostly picking the low hanging fruits
