Developers Frustrated with GitHub Prod For Changes In Bug Reports, Transparency
DeveloperTech reports that a group of GitHub developers have posted an open letter, with nearly 1300 signatures, expressing dissatisfaction with GitHub's processes and policies, and in particular the site's level of transparency. A slice of the letter: "Those of us who run some of the most popular projects on GitHub feel completely ignored by you. We’ve gone through the only support channel that you have given us either to receive an empty response or even no response at all," he wrote. "We have no visibility into what has happened with our requests, or whether GitHub is working on them. Since our own work is usually done in the open and everyone has input into the process, it seems strange for us to be in the dark about one of our most important project dependencies."
Isn't the whole idea of GIT is that it is a DECENTRALIZED version control system? Why do you even need GITHUB?
most projects' structure don't need git, using "thing that Linus wrote" isn't a reason. no one wants to go to a restaurant that puts swiss army knife in lieu of spoon next to soup.
Posting anonymously for obvious reasons.
Recently I was attacked by some Github employees (I'm not an employee) for micro-aggressions against some professionals not related to Github. My transgression was to engage in a technical discussion on technical grounds in an online forum.
Github has been hiring up SJW types at an impressive rate. SJWs are typically not very technically-literate, but are very loud and manage to suck a lot of energy and productivity out of the people around them.
I predict the SJW cancer has invaded their corporate culture, and they will become entirely technically irrelevant in the coming 1-2 years. They might continue to maraude the culture of Silicon Valley, however. Look forward to that.
