Thanks for the perspective. Understanding how things are perceived by others is an incredibly hard thing to do.

As someone who worked on an Open Source project for years with no compensation, adding sustainable funding to it was very motivating. Money is a very weird thing, but getting money for the continued existence of your work is fantastic valid

It's the expectation of the user that this is hacking. Inserting the HTML into a non-Intro user's email wouldn't make sense. But sense the user is expecting that data, and for it to be validated, spoofing it becomes much more

It makes me sad that interacting with a community has to come with disclaimers :x

Yea, that. The python bit was just a side note. I went ahead and removed the python part, as it didn't really contribute to the message.

I just wanted to point out how poisonous our community is. It's something that I've been struggling with for a long time, and trying to slowly change. The fact that people read this article, and don't feel the need to mention

Or just give them money on something like gittip. Things like this need to be sustainable, not just a flash in the pan of $10k, then going back to having nothing.

I think you missed the point. He was poking fun at the current culture by calling him a "content creator". I saw this talk in person, and it was obvious in that context.

Just because you own something doesn't mean its a liquid asset..

I'm using it non-production things, and have had a similar experience. I'm in the SFO data center, and I've lost connectivity to the machine at least 5 times in the past month.

It saves money. That's at least one advantage.

Did the NYTimes just break a story about one of their own employees leaving? The tone of the article is really interesting.

Imagine if something like this allowed them to quit their jobs, so that they did need this money, and work on open source projects full time. That's the goal.

I think you read it correctly. The opening song in the Painting Coconuts video is one of my favorites currently. This bodes well :) Thanks for more inspiring videos. The man who plants trees was amazingly apropos because of my recent depart

Thanks for this comment. It led me to read the entire website that you linked. On a page I found a link to The Man Who Planted Trees. I was walking across the country recently on the Pacific Crest Trail, and I had to come off the trail beca

A docstring is not a comment. A docstring is actually a string that gets saved on the object, where as a comment is not used at all.

Why do you assume Heroku wants you to know who they're tipping? Or that it's a positive thing for us to know? Perhaps they are just trying to help the community and don't need credit for it, other than the indication that they are giving.

I would love it if you would maintain a fork of 2.7. I'll look forward to the release!

Some amazing content in here. Love the talk on how the internet works, it's a great intro for people who are getting into the web. Getting started with automated testing is a great intro for that subject as well. Also, kudos to the Pycon vi

He also committed my first code to Django. And was amazingly patient with me while I floundered about during sprints that were held in Lawrence, Ks. He was a great man, and he will be missed in many communities around the web. I was always

This attitude is one of the largest problems with open source in my opinion. If people want to try and make money on software, it is their option. It's free for non-commerical use, and the most enlightened thing you could say is "eww"? Peop

We're also trying to build a resource around this kind of information on docs.writethedocs.org. It just launched today as part of this, and is half baked. However, this is the start of that doc: http://docs.writethedocs.org/en/latest/start

We opened up the call for speakers today with the announcement. We're planning to leave it open for 2-3 weeks. Shortly after that we'll announce the schedule. We will also be announcing speakers as we get them confirmed throughout the follo

Thanks for the kind words. We believe that coming to the conference itself will be worthwhile for many aspects. Meeting people in the community, being able to share ideas in real time, and having a shared experience of watching all the talk
