No matter whether you love or hate the new UI, github is going to actively iterate on this design and improve it. I can't tell you how many times I have had a github tab open and then popped open another and my layout has slightly chan

Slight nitpick, if you have limited quantities of something list the total remaining instead of just saying "limited quantities".

I would actually love to know the true percentage of resumes falsified by programmers today? Surely plenty of other people are lying about education or relevant work experience just to get past an HR filter (not that you can justify it eas

Irony that you need to use a burner laptop to order your burner phone?

The biggest issue it faces is adoption. Your funding amount needs to be in front of people in the issue tracker they are working in. If I have to go to a separate site to browse bounties I am now using two issue trackers essentially and m

I hadn't seen this. Looks interesting but kinda strange they went with the kickstarter design. I had wanted to build a funding platform for open source as well but I don't think a bounty board is the right way to do it anymore. The other p

How is it a joke? They paid once and they get their one time payment back? Technically they got to use the product for free. Recommendation of alternatives were there as well which is excellent.

I think the default site while somewhat bland isn't dated just yet. Over used, definitely but dated not yet.

Why is this targeted at young developers? Seems like this is advice for any developer who is looking to get their start in the industry. I would replace working for free with contributing to an open source project or working to become a ma

I think the more pertinent reason why Bootstrap is so important is due to the fact that it elevates the look / feel bar of all websites. There is no reason that your website should look absolutely shit. Just dropping in of the most boilerp

I was actually expecting this to look terrible (low expectations) but this is great! Going to star this and try to contribute.

This is where I wish I knew how far along the product was. Unfortunately we have no way of knowing whether this is just an email sign up page to gauge interest or if the product is close to being ready to ship. I hope it's the latter becau

It's a defensive posture in response to what Apple has been doing with iMessage.

Sponsored training programs that have multiple companies supporting them sound like a good idea.

I can definitely see this as factored into the cost of a first year dev. I wonder how much more talent companies would recruit by just making that investment more apparent?

I think internships are slightly different. Paid apprenticeships where you are expected to delivery production ready code for clients and work along side developers is what we are after. Most internships I have seen generally treat the int

The suggestion wasn't to loosen standards it was to start cultivating developers that are up to your standards. If you put them in an apprenticeship program because you see something in them it is an investment that will lead to higher stan

How does this compare to something like FreshDirect in NYC? Used freshdirect for a long time and it always felt so amazing. The timing savings always makes me feel good about paying the higher cost. I've never felt the need to order my gr

Nice, still says for interviews but I feel like it is just marketing copy at a certain point.

Never have but I really don't want to share my whole screen sometimes. It's more can I just have a code editor session with someone and work on this one bit. More zen-like focus.

Love to finally see a product built in Meteor that isn't just a demo application! Did you guys have any intentions of re-writing CATS to use Meteor?
