That's weird. Pivotal itself had hundreds of developers using it for what was thousands of projects. It was never slow like that for us, unless they were having some sort of outage or something. I hate to say it, but my immediate guess

I used to think the active pairing was just a fad or crazy talk. Then I went and worked at Pivotal and learned it first hand. The way they did it works.

Close, but not PT. PT doesn't have the concept of status columns. It is effectively in the active running iteration, or it is in the backlog. What fits in the running iteration, is based on velocity. I love that it is just GH issues un

They spent A LOT of time building PT. It isn't something easy to replicate, especially if you didn't work at Pivotal Labs and get their knowledge of how to use it. But, you're right, I was just lamenting the other day that th

Making something open source has no bearing on your future employment. Certainly, it is great to have something on the resume that is used internally, but to have an _expectation_ that someone would hire you for that reason, is beyond my im

As a CEO 'manager' myself, I try to let people just be. Getting too granular about person vs. topic and redirecting people to the right room sucks the fun out of everything. Let people mess up and post in the wrong place, who care

If I was one of those 15,000 remote communities, I'd just buy it myself. Starlink is game changing technology that actually works. Politicizing it is lame.

ICMP (ping) is often blocked and is an unreliable way to tell if a website is up. HTTPS requests timing out might as easily be something on your end, or your provider. Do you have a VPN on? A lot of government services block those.

This is being done in partnership with a company called NScale. They once sued a friend of mine over software he wrote, and lost. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if you’re going to play those kinds of games and still los

My statement certainly had some implied subtext that I can expand upon now... If you write tests, you don't need a specialized library for debug logging. Run the test, and set a breakpoint in your debugger.

Crazy that I get downvoted for a perfectly valid question, go HN! I'm not saying that tests are perfect, but if you do find a bug, you write a new test and fix it. You don't add print statements that you expect to keep around any
