I used patches and lists before, a lot. It was either hard or impossible to track more than one at a time, in context and with lots of conversations around specific lines of code. It was also a nightmare for maintainers to constantly want t

Huge fan of any effort that gets rid of FB events. My biggest feature request in this space is around address book and inviting new people to a larger event. I want something that can, for example, check my email or other contacts and surfa

Artsy CTO here. I am excited to see this article and, putting aside that it quotes me :) A couple of things I wanted to highlight that are not in the article and should have been. - Pay attention to how Microsoft has used open-source to tur

Right now sales people at GitHub are trying to convert our $200 grandfathered plan into a $2000 one per month at no avail because we can just move over to Gitlab and get same or better service. I’m thankful for Gitlab’s existence and am jus

Running is amazing. I find it as addictive as programming, but much healthier. I encourage anyone sitting behind a computer a lot to pick it up. Your inner geek can also publish your Strava runs to a Jekyll blog (shameless plug: http:&#x2F

I was a beneficiary of an H1B in 99 from Switzerland (easily confused with Sweden that Trump wants qualified candidates from). After months of waiting I moved to the US, and got a green card five years later. I’m grateful. I made my life he

One of the best things about Christie’s or Sotheby’s or other auctions is that they are open to the public. Go attend one! Ping me if you need some hand holding ;)

Just to counterbalance the amount of negative sentiment here, we've used MongoDB for Artsy.net, following a recommendation from Foursquare's CTO (and others) since 2010. Elliott has also been very generous with his time, too. Mong

I've tried the Hololens dev version. It's very cool, unlike anything else I've had on my head. Those who let me try it don't seem to be overly worried or impressed with Magic Leap, but there's no way of telling unti
