That's actually a very good point and a major downside to the open source tools. My whole work experience (and that of many sysadmins) is in primarily Windows shops. Since many of the OSS tools don't work or require hacks to make them work on Windows.
As far as what we do at Stack, a lot of our code gets released. Not the core q&a engine, but our logging framework (StackExchange.Exceptional), a profiler (MiniProfiler), and some other stuff. On the sysadmin side, we are active in developing Desired State Configuration modules and contribute those to the PowerShell.org DSC repo on GitHub. Part of the job description for our SRE developer includes the fact that much of what we develop in house will be targeted to be open sourced.
- Joeri 13y agoThe miniprofiler was such an inspiration that i built the same thing for the PHP / ExtJS single page app that i work on. Now i can call up a floating window at any time listing all the recent network requests in the session, formatted much more appropriately than the browser's network view, and the database queries run for those requests, with timing and memory size info. Incredibly convenient while developing or debugging, and i doubt it would have happened if i hadn't seen the miniprofiler first.
- mjibson 13y agoYou should consider porting that to the official miniprofiler standard (https://github.com/miniprofiler/ui https://github.com/miniprofiler/ui). We want ports in other languages, and php would be welcome. You just have to make the backend, frontend is done and documented above.
