This reminds me of an attempt when spammers tried (and still trying, but not as often as before) to poison antispam bayes filters with all sorts of garbage in email. The result is that filters became even more powerful over time.

I'd be thrilled with this. This is free marketing to a much broader customer base than I could achieve. Some customers would circle back for more in-depth knowledge and support from the original author/company. Take, for example,

Jenkins is not perfect by any means, but I can say it is much better than existing solutions (taking pros and cons after trying and using many of them). Sure, it doesn't have fancy UI or flying buttons, nor is it rust/PWA/rea

Git is very good with large repos, but the monorepo concept doesn't fit the git model. Monorepo is a bad idea with the current DVCS-es unless you use custom tooling. My guess is that people adopt monorepos because they aspire to be Goo

What Cockpit version? Maybe it is compiled differently on RH-based distros.

I'd say it is half-baked webmin. You can only use it with NetworkManager, and if you have an even remotely complex network setup for VMs, NetworkManager usually must be turned off, which makes Cockpit practically unusable. virt-manager

The recurring problem I've seen that would cause slow startup is cramming many (require) and (import) in the project core.clj file - for non-clojure devs here, this means including a lot of dependencies in the file called on the startu
