I think the concern is more about availability. How long does it take for a car to show up each time OP needs to go to the store? This is a problem with Uber now. I need to be at the airport at 5:00 AM tomorrow morning and I'm just hop

As a Sentry user, this is exciting! Any idea when this will make it to production?

Good call! I just whitelisted LogRocket instead. :)

Hey. The support button on the sidebar doesn't go anywhere. How do I ping you?

At least for me, security isn't the concern. The problem is that I have no idea what I'm recommending. Have you considered letting users read a bit before asking for the Tweet? I've been a PonyFoo reader for a long time. You&

Is there a way for the mods to protect the post from user flags? Normally, user flags are a good thing. That doesn't seem to be true in this case, though.

Web developer is not ideal. That is more of a people issue than it is a technology issue. Whatever our collective gripes about JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, we all know how to use them. We know how to handle cross-browser compatibility and dif

I've spent a lot of time working with Django as a backend and AngularJS powering the client. It's definitely not a bad combination. That said, in my personal projects, I lean towards letting Django handle almost all of the client

I tend to agree with this. I've never had a private office with a door that closes, so how would I know what I'm missing out on? That said, the idea does sound nice and I'd definitely try it out if I had the opportunity.

I'd definitely be interested. :)

What you described is what I'm hoping to see over the next few months. I joined the company recently, so there's still a lot of internals that I don't fully understand.

We've already have internal discussions about whether it makes sense to make documentation part of our ticketing system (we use Pivotal Tracker). Everyone seems to agree that it's the only way the docs will ever get updated. 30% i

Thanks for the insight! Regarding documentation covering an overarching vision for the code: It is my experience that the person best-suited to write these docs -- i.e. The person who knows the codebase the best -- is always in demand at th

You're way more hardcore than I am. I tried LaTeX once. I still have scars.

Is your company using the Office 365 version of MS Word? I wonder if it would be possible to automatically convert an MS Word file to Markdown :o

It's not a bad solution, unless you're the guy who knows everything. And I don't mean that in a facetious way; some companies have one person that knows everything about the codebase. We've got one of those guys on our t

What makes Mkdocs easy to get started? I'm not familiar with it, so any insight you have is great. We need something that requires minimal commitment from the team, you know?

I've thought about this a bit and personally came to the conclusion that extracting inline comments is a bad idea. They are inline for a reason. By way of example, I frequently use inline comments to discuss things like how a given cla

Does Bitbucket's wiki support search? Github's doesn't and thats one reason it was vetoed.

by brwr 11y ago
Hey! Docily sounds cool, but we've already vetoed a few options because we want our documentation de-coupled from our codebase. We want the entire company (not just product and engineering) to be able to use the system we go with.
55.
by brwr 11y ago
That's really good advice. I also want to add a ton of documentation around the "Why?" factor. Why did we make this decision? Why are we using this technology? etc. The first question is always "How do I do this?".

These stories just make me more and more sad. Haha. What are you using these days?

I feel like you need a hug. :( That sounds absolutely terrible!

by brwr 11y ago
One of the requirements we're facing internally is having a system that can be used by the entire company and not just the engineering team. Unfortunately, the options that have been presented are all wikis with poor UI. :(

That's so cool! It blows my mind that the search is done in-browser.

Over time I've noticed that a lot of software developers aren't good documentation writers. I'm not saying this is good or bad, but it is a statement I believe to be true. With that said, what advantages are there to removing
