There's a product/market fit thing going on here. Rails is the kind of project that caters to the kind of people who value and can contribute "nice websites and logos" because that is what a lot of them do for a living w

No. No. No. Code reviews only mean your code is going through two sieves instead of one. Of course it helps. But there is no guarantee of anything unless the reviewer is incapable of making mistakes, in which case you could just ask him to

I worry about an overly defeatist point of view here. Just because the security situation is so bad right now does not mean that it is unavoidably so.

Yes, anything at all would have worked since those planes are only meant to keep neighboring countries and drug smugglers minimally in check, so the choice was 100% political. It is pretty clear though that the government was going to award
