Hey there, thanks for bringing this up. First, I want to apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced as a result of this issue. Second, I'd like to apologize for the delay in getting back to you on this as well. You're

I think this is especially true in the Bay Area as lots of companies are looking for unicorns in a herd of cattle. There's nothing wrong with cattle, but places will spend 6 figures trying to recruit that 10x unicorn instead of trainin

Agreed 100%. Growing up we didn't have money to hire people to do this stuff for us. I learned how to paint, how to hang drywall, how to do basic plumbing, how to lay flooring (tile, carpet, and wood), and odd jobs like replacing crown

Thanks for the feedback -- it sucks that they found so many bugs in the product. Any chance you remember what specifically they ran into?

Having just picked this one up, I can confirm it's actually worth a read. It's short but full of information that will help you design better APIs even if you've already done it.

Definitely! Shoot me an email :)

Heya, shoot me an email (amanda@gitlab.com) and I'll see what I can do about getting you some stickers. Thanks for the feedback! It's great to hear :)

He's allegedly inflated his usage numbers in order to secure/sustain membership in the PHP-FIG. There are several high-profile projects in the group, so I imagine getting your project listed as a member adds some prestige and is g

Agreed. I think the stigma around mental illness has a lot to do with how people react to it. Society tells us it's embarrassing and a sign of weakness and many people suffer in silence until it's too late. Fortunately this indust

I can't even tell you how many pen testers I know with criminal records. Somewhere, someone will hire him to do security.

All of the people involved have been very open about their identities and what they've been up to. It's sort of their MO. Pure speculation on my part, but I imagine it's basically a giant middle finger to everyone else.

As a follow up, this was posted not too long afterwards: https://github.com/bundler/bundler/issues/3436 tl;dr, there's a bug where a CoC is created even if you opt-out.

If it works but performs poorly due to poor design decisions I definitely care. Otherwise I'm with you -- I tend not to care about the skill level of the programmer as long as the application works and has no glaring security issues.

I guess it's worth noting that Linode and Rackspace can provide server management for you if sysadmin work isn't your forte.

"Most people are not willing to risk their job to find out." And that's the part that makes me sad about all of this. People are all about "Consider the woman's feelings here!" but no one wants to consider how

Well, at the end of the day he really is the only one who can change his behavior. I'm not saying I'll be mad if he doesn't, it was simply my way of saying "Don't give up on us because we're not all bitches.&qu

No, I recognized that this is a self-preservation tactic and (thought) I implied I wished it weren't needed. Please read some of the other things I said -- I'm actually on the same side as him.

I disagree. There's a reason that the term "witch hunt" has the connotation that it does.

I see a LOT more drama surrounding the things that men have said/done. If I were a man I would absolutely be more concerned about my interactions with female coworkers over male ones. Don't take this to mean that I think I can say

That hasn't been my experience. After I settled in here people eventually approached me and said they were afraid to talk to me about anything not work-related out of fear that I'd take something the wrong way. I think men are les

I apologize if it came off this way. I actually allocate blame 50% to him and 50% to the people that do this sort of thing. This is a circular problem to me. Some people seem quick to be angry about things and they lash out at people. Then
