Is it just me or are there a lot of errors in this article? Scott Chabon? I wonder if they intentionally did that so people would fork the article and fix it.

I wonder if they intentionally did that so people would fork the article and fix it.
- holman 15y agoCould be! The article itself is open source, too: https://github.com/WiredEnterprise/Lord-of-the-Files https://github.com/WiredEnterprise/Lord-of-the-Files
- peterb 15y agoI wish all technical books did this.
- RyanMcGreal 15y agoThe gold standard might be the way Mark Pilgrim wrote Dive Into HTML5.
- bootload 15y ago"... I wish all technical books did this. ..." Why limit this to technical articles? Why not any written document? The key point, non-tech editors and writers are not going to use the clumsy tools github provides. They might use an editor that hides the mechanics of github.
- bgentry 15y agoThat is amazing. 17 outstanding pull requests =)
- jurre 15y agoI think so, I'm keeping an eye on https://github.com/WiredEnterprise/Lord-of-the-Files/pulls https://github.com/WiredEnterprise/Lord-of-the-Files/pulls to see if they're getting merged. Pretty cool they hosted it there!
- jurre 15y agoYup, they're commenting on the incoming pull requests and looks like they will be accepting some. Curious to see if the original article will be updated with them!
- hkarthik 15y agoNoticed a few too. Like the fact that Scott Chacon wrote a book on Pro Git, not GitHub itself (maybe that's in the works).
- orblivion 15y agoThey have things completely backwards. Github didn't make coding more decentralized, Git did. Github made it more centralized, though in a mostly non-binding way thanks to Git.
