It sure fucking is bonkers. Ruby Central as an organization touts that it is responsible for RubyGems. Assuming this narrative is accurate, they needed to get agreements in place with contributors to appease some funding partners. This sh

Wait, what? A maintainer of RubyGems was forcibly removed from the RubyGems GitHub org — which was renamed to Ruby Central — along with every other maintainer. Then access was restored, then revoked again. There was no explanation, no commu

Folks did this plenty prior to Electron, either by using cross-platform GUI toolkits (GTK and Qt both run on Windows, Java's been doing this forever with Swing and JavaFX, etc), or by writing GUIs for multiple toolkits/OSes that w

Of course, and I can't fault Microsoft for that, even if (having been on the bad end of a similar acquisition and IT merge) it sucks for GitHub. My point was: GitHub as an organization didn't choose Teams willingly, and are still

Bingo. Nearly impossible for our staff to do their jobs and not discuss something considered PHI.

Regardless of what you think of Teams -- I myself have had nothing but poor experiences over 2.5 years of using it daily -- it's telling that Microsoft has to require folks to use Teams. I'm sure this is just Microsoft unifying

Oh no, the stuff I put in quotes was not Robbi speaking during the hand, but my imagining of what Neganeau would have sounded like in his typical confident chattery thinking aloud.

"continue to blame the customer?" He's never said that folks were wrong, or blamed anyone for anything. Seems to me like he just wanted folks to not be shitty. Take, for example, this comment by someone calling themselves _Pr

Definitely, better marketing around differentiation. I'm a huge dork for open standards, I frequently miss the days of Gaim/Pidgin and having Google Talk be Jabber/XMPP underneath, and being able to IM my friends wherever.

I find this response surprising, as I fully agreed with TFA. I've had an Ops team that had a similar attitude, and they did a lot to help me become a good developer. Part of that was requiring that I come to them with identified prob
