I was hoping for an evaluation of Radicle--the only forge that seemed to be doing something exciting and "new", and one I haven't had the time to really analyze yet--but... no such luck :(.
- riidom 3y agoWow that looks crazy! Link: https://radicle.xyz https://radicle.xyz But honestly, I also wouldn't write about this without a lot of usage experience. For sure it's different from github/-lab etc. exciting and new, as you say.
- emptysongglass 3y agoI'm not sure you'd want any forge evaluated by this author: they're extremely caustic, negative, and critical. Jaded people in tech like this I just try and avoid, especially when they come out against unalloyed good tech like containerization. Containers are just namespaces with additions. They've allowed us to narrow the gap of capability between the big three OSes, even if the other two need to virtualize Linux to do so. There's also nothing wrong with LLMs. How you choose to integrate them into your life or forge is a choice but at the end of the day they're just another tool in the toolbelt. Pick what you want or need and leave the rest. I'm not forced to use Copilot but I appreciate it when I need it.
- k__ 3y agoThere is also https://protocol.land https://protocol.land and https://gitopia.com https://gitopia.com.
- RealStickman_ 3y agoThe layout of radicle.land is unfortunately pretty broken on mobile.
- k__ 3y agoYes, it's only a month old or something. Pretty early project.
- BHSPitMonkey 3y agoWhat is radicle.land? Both radicle.xyz and app.radicle.xyz seem fine for me on Firefox mobile. Did something change in the last few hours?
- k__ 3y agoThey probably meant protocol.land.
- RealStickman_ 3y agoI meant protocol.land
- rapnie 3y agoThe latter is Web3/crypto la la land, and the former.. dunno, got to read the code, but I would like to know about the project, its goals, and who is behind it.
- k__ 3y agoBoth (and Radicle) are web3. So, it's probably not your jive.
- GoblinSlayer 3y agogit is blockchain too
- Klonoar 3y agoWow! So glad someone mentioned this - I’ve been looking for something like it, going to have to set aside time to try it out.
- natdempk 3y agohttps://pierre.co/ https://pierre.co/ is another interesting one, focused on a product-development workflow.
- idlephysicist 3y agoWhat is a Product Engineer? Is it just another name for an engineer?
- natdempk 3y agoYeah, I don't think there is any meaningful distinction there. I think Pierre is just framing things in terms of solving for teams that work with product + design + engineering to ship something to users that involves all of those parties, whereas GitHub has primarily catered to engineering. Today in software companies there is basically a gap where each discipline kinda prefers to work in it's own software silo (eg. Asana / Figma / GitHub), but that doesn't really make a lot of sense from a fundamental standpoint where all of those aspects of a team want to work very closely together. You end up kinda syncing a lot of info/state across the silos, or via meetingss/slack etc, so I think Pierre is trying to bring all that into one tool with some opinionated workflow. Makes a lot of sense from my perspective, curious how it ends up working out.
