- andy_ppp 6mo agoTo build good software you need to think for yourself rather than aimlessly making a pastiche, derivative work never produces good art.
- vkou 6mo agoTo build good software you need to take the time to make your existing features work well, and improve or prune the ones that don't. In other words, it is craftsmanship. The American corporation and its values are anathema to craftsmanship. You can ******* a **** all you want, it's never going to turn into gold, but your hands will be covered in crud.
- andy_ppp 6mo agoI think we are describing the same set of issues with different emphases.
- dgellow 6mo agoNot a good analogy, lot of derivative work is excellent art
- cortesoft 6mo agoBetter CI and better search are the two things that are still missing from GitHub
- jamesfinlayson 6mo agoGitHub had good search but it's been terrible for years now. More recently I think it's only returned results when logged in.
