I strongly believe that that's not true for most folks. And even if it were - the paycheck is why they're there so they can make ends meet for their family.

The key point, and one the author believes applies just as well to computer science, is: He was insufficiently confident of the power of the intellectual tools he already possessed and did not drive his thought to the very end because he f

If you're jonesing for other problems, I keep a list of all sorts of programming (and security) challenges at http://hackertainment.net . (Shameless plug but I have no ads or even analytics, it's just a thing I do.)

http://www.roughdraft.io is another tool - honestly, I like seeing more of these so that we have options that do things slightly differently.

Web scraping isn't a crime - the simple act of downloading the data should not be a problem here. (The reuse of the data might be, depending, but we don't have that information right now.) This doesn't even rise to the level

I stopped messing with the contributions after it became clear how arbitrary and frustrating the feature can be. Not only does it still struggle with time zones and branches, when you leave an organization or otherwise lose access to a priv

Did you even read the article, where that comparison is made explicit?

"No offense but" is code for "I am about to say something offensive." And are you really suggesting that statistics - facts - are irrelevant?

So BitBucket and Gitorious and others will need to excel and beat GitHub at their game. Competition will eventually solve this the same way we aren't beholden to the same methods and sites we used 10 years ago. The next winner may not

This has happened to me countless times. The encouraged culture of asking smart questions[0] is probably Stack Overflow's best feature. [0]: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

For Rails, sure - but most FLOSS projects are not like that.

You are essentially advocating that reporters write a test script with each bug filed. During the process, of course, this makes sense, but it may not work right away because coming up with a solid repro can be a challenge. And not all user
