Hey Tom, wondering what the initial days of growth at GitHub looked. Was it all hockey stick up and to the right? Or where there plateaus, peeks, and valleys? Did you have to do any growth work?

When we're building Repl.it we think about this a lot and we think we're building "power on to basic" for the cloud era. Where the microcomputer in the mainframe era made computing more accessible, we think Repl.it is th

Neomaniac don't understand that everything new is necessary unstable and opaque. Older systems, cultures, technolgies survived for a reason. By obsessing over the new and dismissing the old we are throwing away knowledge and learnings.

Davide Rosa (author) is so responsive. I'm speculating but I think it was flying under the radar before we found at repl.it. We see Davide helping people on our forums and fixing bugs as they come. https://repl.it/talk&
