I love this, but how do you end up with 739 users? That's both a lot of users, implying that this isn't just a total hobby, and also not a lot of users, which means it hasn't been marketed THAT heavily. What's your secre

I am not worried about missing posts, on my own reader. I specifically only grab the single newest post, so I may be missing posts by design. That said, I think 3 or 4 days seems reasonable.

My strategy is to have an exponential backoff. I start a new feed set to query every 30 minutes, and if there’s no new post, I double the period. If there’s is a new post, I halve it. My reader goes through every feed every half hour, and r

And this is a flaw of Perforce: in a Git/Mercurial system, the presubmit can stack the changes into two commits. In P4, one CL has to contain both changes. And Google uses P4(ish) because monorepo, so they build further abstractions ov

I don’t understand why they had to format 100k files. You enforce the format with a presubmit and let the code get formatted in the next change. I have long felt that Google’s strength has always been making a bad architectural choice and t
