Congrats team! Graphite was basically what GitHub should have been but never was Huge fans of their work @ GitStart!

Most heavy users of python notebooks (including us) have a hate love relationship with it, especially when you add it into git. Honestly this is worth alone for the fact that there…

This is very exciting! Existing data will become a lot more valuable and it brings it one step closer to how we learn as humans! The downside is that this is going to be extremely …

I agree on the Bell Labs analogy Most browsers have consolidated over time because we are constantly updating web standards and bar for security is so high. On top of that everythi…

Majority of revenue base lives on iOS globally (due to being a monopoly in the US) That's why Apple has higher profits than all other mobile operators combined!

I think you are drastically overestimating the revenue gain from ad blockers But I agree that default search with being Google must have heavily blocked competition. Comparing how …

That’s revenue not profits. Majority goes to app devs. Profits are all that matter

I think most people do not understand that Google funnels a lot of their profits to make Chrome and Android into OSS. Youtube may be the only viable company that can come out of Go…

That sounds really low. Do you mind sharing where you rent your racks from?

Thank you so much for that!! I wondered about this as well. Love how above and beyond you guys are going to support other OSS implementations <3

How do you sign multiple devs on a commit though? Would it be a joint PGP key signed by all keys of all devs that helped with the PR?

GitStart only takes care of well scoped tickets in backlog and finishes them at the PR stage. There is so much more to do including: technical architecture, API design, breaking do…

Your advice is spot on, and why we wanted to build a better than the current status quo! a) we already have a sizeable alumni who have gone through GitStart over time, with many st…

I appreciate the candid honestly! Even though we are aiming to become a career accelerator for junior devs, not everyone is going to graduate right away. For some, just a few month…

We already have email+password+verification_link combo for client dashboard, and we are soon bringing it to our developer dashboard soon! (along with a brand new dev focused websit…

How was your experience recruiting and working with dev teams based out of China? And how do you enforce foreign contracts from aboard (or draft local ones with a sub within China?…

Internally we are expanding ways in which we draft multiple PRs initially when new devs onboard and send the one with the best peer review approval We could infant send all the dra…

We enable EOR + BR + MDM setup on the enterprise plan. Plus, MDM is usually gimmicky given most devs for these clients work in a virtual environment anyways (so the code never leav…

Quite a few are due to priority changes over time. We are thinking to automatically close PRs when there is no activity for > 14 days.

Do you think outsourcing (“gets outsourced anyways”) still happens for most tech teams? IMO, just like you mentioned, teams are so scared of outsourcing that this happens less and …

Currently most of dev bounty platforms do start with OSS, but we only started doing that last year. Because of that, 90% of users of our commercial usage today is still close-sourc…

Unless there is a strong regulation like HIPAA, I have seen setting up a US based company (through Stripe Atlas) take care of most legal woes. But ultimately it depends on the moti…

Agreed ... the service itself has to hold ground on its own. Thats why on our landing page, the focus is on the service itself with some mission interleaved. Would you reckon it's …

GitHub PR detail view is a hot mess. The entire page is endlessly long, with very poor signal to noise ratio We are very tempted to re-build that experience on the dashboard(at-lea…

I love this! We can make it even easier to ask for emoji reaction to the PR description instead of a comment to make it 2 click to take action And build an experience that guides t…
