  • On a more serious note, how the hell do people use GitHub? I was the Gitlab admin at my prior employer (and self-host my own instance) and now I am just a user of GitHub in my new role and jesus does it lack any organization whatsoever, it’s actions are crap compared to Gitlab CI/CD, and it’s projects are a flaming pile or garbage

    Not having an insta isn’t weird or what turned her off - being fucking creepy and weird about it then lying is what turned her off… Jesus

    Being active on a social network is not the same as having a social life - meet people, make friends, and make an effort to reach out to them. THAT’s having a social life


  • Doing work with government, I understand why - ten billion different stakeholders to wrangle, strained budgets (probably not as big of an issue in defense but rampant throughout the rest of gov’t), lawmakers changing things mid-project that have a material effect on how the project is carried out, and endless redtape throughout the process. I don’t propose FF for gov projects either because inevitably they violate our assumptions by not getting their shit in order which kills the timeline, adds a ton of overhead, and results in a change order anyway which then just starts the whole process of approvals all over again.





  • After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role… Holy shit does GitHub suck. It’s organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don’t know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.

    Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github



  • It’s funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They’re past their series F - they’ve got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it’s been downhill since.

    Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)


  • Which I get - I’m starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue



  • Curious how it is now as I used to be a Usenet person back when fserves and bots on IRC channels were some of the best ways to request and get nzbs to throw into your Usenet client. I’ve been a torrent user on private trackers for the last 15 years and while I have everything automated, I still run into quality issues or rogue releases with inaccurate language info / subtitles / etc

    APC is nice in an enterprise-like setup and the management software is really mature. That said, you don’t get much for your money and for a homelab, I’ve been happy with my Tripplite UPS which was about half the cost. I got the expansion battery as well and the whole setup cost me less than $700

    To each their own, I really don’t like Miro as is just graphical, no way to export my data in a machine readable format. In LucidChart I could create an ERD diagram or BPMN chart and get it in say XML in a format that I could actually script on top of to help with development. As for direct Figma competitors, I’ve really enjoyed self-hosting PenPot
