How is this different than the pro-Gitlab people, who are on the same threads doing the opposite? I’m personally tired of seeing Gitlab employees and fanchildren spamming every halfway-related thread on HN. If there’s someone here advocatin

I answered you, you just ignored the answer: yes. If you believe Github isn’t a business, then you’re going to be sorely disappointed by Gitlab, whose business model is worse . I’m done talking to you now.

Yeah, well...Gitlab is also built on libgit2 and rugged. The core libraries that power Gitlab’s interaction with Git? Those are open-source projects written by Github. I did some work with libgit and rugged and said to myself that I was sho

”Your claim that github has 'built a business and .. gave back generously' is also weird in that gitlab has released the source to their core product, but github hasn't. This also speaks against your claim that you're m

The only “axe” I have to grind is the one I clearly stated: Gitlab is salting the earth for dev tools. You can’t build a business competing with someone who is using VC money to give away their product. This is all going to end badly when t

People here are deluding themselves. Gitlab, without gobs of VC money and the promise of a big IPO payday, is an abandoned open-source project with a tiny fraction of the team that built the code. So yes, you can fork the code, but without

A former coworker of mine said this years ago, and it stuck with me: ”Silicon valley is full of people who stepped in shit once, and are therefore now experts on horses.”

They’re used because “that’s what company X uses”. People are cargo culting each other, and making up post hoc rationalizations for their behavior. Unless you work for a major tech company where optimizing the false positive rate is your

That’s a ridiculous comparison. I’m certain that the rate of housing construction in Turlock has little/nothing to do with statewide housing medians. Obviously, the vast majority of those California permits are going into the major cit

Tokyo sprawls across a massive floodplain, and mostly comprises 1-2 story construction. It is not especially dense, and it has spectacular regional transit. Tokyo is not a counterargument to the parent’s point that geographical constraints

Again: you can’t just compare rent values without adjusting for income. Japanese people aren’t earning San Francisco salaries. The number you want there is the the one that says Tokyo is 10% cheaper than NYC. That’s the adjusted number. S

Tokyo is still very expensive relative to Japanese incomes. Is it more expensive than SF on an adjusted basis? Hard to say, but it’s not as clear as you’re asserting. If anything, magacities like Tokyo and London show us that you can build

And? You think that a certification exam provides more evidence than a university degree? (which, let’s face it, most programmers have). No, this is a made-up difficulty, caused by the fact that programmers think there’s a silver bullet sol

The other option is to check references, do credential checks, and simple bullshit screens during interviews, like every other professional interview. Literally every other profession has this challenge! Programmers are unique only in t

You are really overgeneralizing your personal experience. I’m a native English speaker too, and I guess pronunciations all the time. I’d argue that it’s part of the skill of English fluency. Stop discouraging people by telling them that y

Also, Tokyo sprawls . The city isn’t one giant cluster of skyscrapers called Shinjuku, sorry. Most of the people on this thread would be shocked to see pictures of actual Tokyo housing, which mostly consists of low-rise, detached buildings

Even then, I fail to see how it’s relevant information. I’m supposed to trust an “autopilot” that warns me six seconds before it slams me into a wall?

”Nor does it explain the fact the car plowed into a barrier.” This is critical. No matter how many notices you give, slamming into something at speed is the wrong answer. It’s almost unbelievable that they’re trying to use that as an excu

Being a bad fit for a startup doesn’t mean it’s a bad personal decision. When startups want to stop being startups and start being seen as respected companies, you can bet they start hiring MBAs. It makes sense for YC to try to filter out c

There were lots of people in Cruise’s seed round. Justin founded Justin.tv and Exec. Justin.tv became Socialcam and Twitch.

A marketing document does not convince me. But even if I take this at face value, they’re talking about estimating future movements based on current trajectory, which is fine and good, but not the scenario raised by the OP. If I see a child
