Fog Creek dev, here - we, too, have had absolutely great hires from less-selective colleges and with not-so-great resumes. But if you're pressed for time and resources and you have to use a heuristic for where to put recruiting efforts

This task used to be more distributed over the server-side devs, but having a single release manager who does this most of the time and other people who do it occasionally and/or when the release manager isn't working seems to wor

Yes, more or less a new branch for each fix. But with git and Kiln, it's really not a drag at all; the merges are generally really easy and mostly performed by our release manager when the card makes it to 'Ready to Merge'.

One time I was talking to a designer about doing it this way. The designer said "Yeah, that's a great way to find a (look of total disdain) _local_maximum_." As usual, some truth to both points of view.

Okay, we just pushed a change so that https://trello.com/business-class will behave nicely for everyone. For now, you can sign up without waiting for beta approval. =)

Hi! Trello Dev here! Could you change the Business Class link to point to https://trello.com/c/2A9OEGta for now? That would allow people to sign up for the beta, and the current link doesn't work unless you're already approved for the bet

Yes, I was trying to say that developing Trello is still really fun, even as it's getting bigger - we are starting to see some minor scaling challenges, but it's still a great time. But we do use Trello to manage Trello, with a public dev b

Yep! We intend to use our shiny, well-organized REST API for future development and probably port existing functionality to it, too!

That's great!

Agreed, it made some necessary, non-backward-compatible changes as a result of being such a young project. I think it is likely that we will upgrade to a newer version soon.

We worked around the bug (which only happened when we were doing REALLLY long queries when we disconnected a client) and moved to Linux, where the bug does not exist. Awesome sysadmin Tim GDB'd into Mongo and figured out that it was an issu
