Absolutely. As I mentioned, we have 150+ rooms that we chill in, and most of our day-to-day work practices are tied into chat. Mention someone's name in a room they're not present in and we send push notifications to their phone a

You bring up some good points, and we're always improving pages like these (the 404 itself has gone through a few versions this year already). I don't think the answer is forcing the canonical URL on every page request, though. I

The spec actually uses a 404 specifically for this purpose: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

We do that to avoid leaking the presence of the repository, if it's private. It's a bit of a pain, but privacy's important to us.

To make it easy to read code. :) It feels pretty comfortable- squinting isn't fun. We tend to avoid user preferences. If it ends up being a problem, we'll lower the text size at some point.

For us, it made sense. Our desktop site is pretty large. Check the graph in the blog post- the mobile pages are about 1/10th the size of the desktop CSS and JavaScript. By avoiding a responsive design, we can make things load dispropor

It isn't. To both. It's a "real feature" (like everything on the site), and already there's a ton of people doing really cool things with the data. We're pretty stoked to see what new things come out of it.

Any new repo you create will trump any redirect that has been set up.

That's a bug; we're looking into it. Thanks!

Me too. That was the plan for this one, but it didn't work out. Sorry you're pissed.

A "passion project", in my mind, is simply a project that you're excited about (notably one that is likely outside the bounds of your normal, day-to-day job). I distinguish them from "side projects", which tend to be something you're intere

We pipe everything into Campfire, scoped into the relevant room (last time I checked we had about 80 separate rooms). The topical bit is important- a particular app's notifications get dumped into that app's room, for example. That means I

It only counts commits made to a master (or default) branch. Once your branch gets merged, we'll backfill all of your contributions.

tl;dr: guy talks about circumventing software in order to "get the job done". He does this on a blog whose styles where lifted from my own, distinctly not open source blog. So yeah, I guess that's a thing.

We don't view it as an abuse at all! We dig fun uses of GitHub like this. Carry on, and good luck with the house.
