GitHub solves a lot of performance bottlenecks, and codified forking. They didn’t write an app or client bindings, which it seems that quilt is giving away. It sounds to me like they have a great interface to a closed hosting platform, and

Could you take the complicated bits and put them in a library? How complicated is your app? To me, what you described is an app that was not designed to be easy to test component-by-component & will have a high overhead on maintenance.

I think the whole project is doomed, the technology is trivially clonable and the backend is a thin API over S3. Their best bet is an acquisition by Amazon etc. to become e.g. Elastic Data Packs

A lot of the time, people get confused by source control & think, “I need to refer to this data as it was at a specific point in time, I’ll use git”. Then they get all the overhead of a DVCS without getting most of the benefits (blame,

I think the workflow is pretty easy: buy a MacBook & an iPhone, and load your app onto the phone & test on it for things which the iOS simulator is not good at. Don't CI your apps, CI your libraries.

Sure! I do think you are right about aggressive, anti-social behaviour in open-source project leaders.

Did… did they render the text on the landing page as an image? edit oh no, I see the <p> elements… but the page makes the text non-selectable, and the right-click context menu acts like I clicked on the background image.

I’m sorry that I implied that you were acting in bad faith; that’s just the phrase I’m familiar with that describes the style of listening that I recognsed in your replies. If I understood your argument correctly, your position is that both

Don’t get me wrong, we are owned daily by Jenkins bugs. We just push as much as possible out of job config and into shared workflows & Makefiles, and treat Jenkins as a glorified cron with a web UI.

They address this in the paper, but from the opposite angle (ho): It should be noted that our dipping scheme assumes that the object has no vertical _caps_ in any orientation. A cap is a vertical cavity that forms a vessel, in which

We have more devs than that, and we spend way less than 1 FTE (or equivalent) per year on keeping it in good working order. Our biggest issue is when we want to do something that's not well-supported or hit bugs.
