This analysis makes me a little sad. I want to like mojombo's work (I like Github a lot) but I've just had too many issues with his OSS.
- mojombo 18y agoMay I ask which other projects you've had problems with?
- teej 18y agoGod - Same issues stated in this article. I've had to move two different clients off of it to Monit. Jekyll - I managed to access Github's database.yml in cleartext, I'm sure you remember that. Fuzed - Never ran Now, albeit, none of these had a 1.0 release and were practically abandoned before they reached it. I'm okay with that, because I really, really like Github.
- grandalf 18y agouh it says right in the fuzed README that it may not run on your system. Would you rather that tom had just kept all the code to himself until he got around to polishing it to the point where it ran on most systems? I think releasing it to the community where others can work with it is the best approach, particularly if the main developer doesn't have the time to make it a top priority.
- teej 18y agoI didn't mean any offense, I meant only to share my experiences relevant to the article with HN.
- grandalf 18y agothere is no need for you to make statements like that, sir. At least substantiate them and explain why you chose not to submit a patch, etc.
- bradgessler 18y agoChronic is bad ass; as-is github. I've only been disappointed with God mainly because its marketed as being "like monit, only awesome" when its really not.
