I LOVE github, their little project forever changed the way I think about & write software, and their ideas (blogposts/presentations) about how to build software are truly a massive inspiration for me.
PS: Would be awesome to see who has the oldest github account on here. I joined April 20 2008.

- jashkenas 14y agoIncidentally, this id is why we call wycats the "gate to enlightenment" -- it's proof that he's the "Mu" programmer. A monk once asked, does JavaScript have a Buddha-nature or not? Wycats said, "nil". The monk said, "Above to all the Haskells, below to all the crawling Javas, all have Buddha-nature. Why is it that JavaScript has not?" Wycats said, "Because it has the nature of karmic delusions."
