Nothing disingenuous about it. He was on the original team that prototyped and then built NuGet. He wrote the core dependency management engine among other things. His contribution…

As the original PM for NuGet, I can confirm that David Fowler was one of the original developers on the team that created and worked on NuGet.

Thanks!

Right. Your VC was trying to convince you to start at the finish live. If only it were that easy!

Exactly. We still think the underlying platform has value, but we have to prove the product first. Then maybe later we can also sell the platform.

Sure! Because of my background in .NET, it made sense to stick with what I know. I don't believe the tech stack makes or breaks a product (unless you choose egregiously poorly). A …

> No, not really, you should focus way more on the latter really. You're absolutely right. I think I should have phrased this as "Don't completely neglect your early engineering an…

Hey! I'm the author of this blog post. If you have any questions, let me know! One of the lessons I omitted (because the post was getting a bit long), is we started off as cross-pl…

Thanks!

Thanks!

Absolutely! We think about security on multiple levels. For our threat model, we focus on _companies_ using Slack, Discord, and Teams, though our efforts apply to communities, etc.…

And better fits the brand. We want to avoid that extra "t" at the end. :)

Thanks holman! That means a lot coming from you! :)

Another example we just published is about tweeting from your company's Twitter account from chat. This is a great use-case from chat. https://blog.ab.bot/archive/2021/07/27/tweet-…

Yes, you could use Abbot's support for messages with buttons. https://blog.ab.bot/archive/2021/06/08/user-interface-suppor... In that case, when someone runs `@abbot deploy skip-te…

Thanks! I'm not too familiar with Terraform on ECS, but if there's an API, then you can script it with Abbot. For example, we have an existing package that uses the GitHub deploy A…

Yeah, appears to be dumb luck. You don't put together branding and a demo of real-time collaborative editing in a day.

> I personally find that a tasteless slogan I'd be interested to hearing why you feel that way. Perhaps there's an angle I hadn't considered. It's supposed to be tongue in cheek. M…

To add to what Holman said, at most companies the receptionist is considered unimportant, and is treated as such. GitHub turns that on its head. Haley sits at the president's desk …

Well, the lead developer is still on the project. He started on MVC even before me. It's in good hands. :)

There's a lot of good stuff coming in that respect. As long as ScottGu carries the torch, things are good there. :)

Yep, I had nothing to do with TDL. Wish I could claim it, but I can't. I mean, I guess I could and lie about it, but no. Won't do that. Not yet anyways. :)
