See, I do think everything like "recognition/impact" needs to come back at least in part to "fun" or it's not sustainable. It's nice to think about how your work affects others! It…

Solve problems you personally care about: “scratch your own itch”. Alternatively, to go people-first: attend meetups or conferences related to a project or technology you’re intere…

This has been on my mind for a while. Most OSS is done by volunteers, most volunteers need to enjoy it or it's unsustainable. "Sustainability" cannot be purely or primarily focused…

Unsure, no longer there. I think maybe just “contact support”.

I’ve used Git for 20 years now and wrote a book about it. The biggest mistake most sources make when teaching about history rewriting is omitting these two lessons first: - it’s ea…

Sandbox and separate user instead of VM but sandvault is good for this and does auto install (full disclosure: have made some PRs to it). https://github.com/webcoyote/sandvault

I've been playing around more with GitHub Actions and found that using them to do deploys, releases and (basic) "cron jobs" are nice but not widely used. Let me know if anything he…

Thanks for the kind words. Glad no ire directed at us. It is very frustrating I agree.

No apologies needed thanks for the kind words! <3

This behaviour came about because, before we did that we ended up upgrading just what you wanted and breaking other packages by mistake. It’s taken a long time but we’re finally at…

I’ve never applied for a job at Apple. You’re maybe thinking of the creator mxcl’s viral tweet about not getting hired at Google. He did work at Apple for a while on SwiftPM. I als…

brew as-console-user may help here. We don’t support a multiuser setup so there may be some limitations but we try our best to address problems as they come up.

You can now trust individual files inside taps. It was not clear to all users before now that some commands (before —-eval-all, a mess this replaces) would evaluate all packages Ru…

We’ve complained about this to Google many times to no avail. It’s very frustrating. They are literally paid money to let people install malware on your machine. Please direct all …

Sorry, we don’t have the resources to do so. We are a team of volunteers and rely on donations to pay for our CI infrastructure. MacPorts is a better fit for older hardware.

Thanks for the kind words and sponsorship <3

This sounds like a bug. Can you file an issue?

I square them because both of them allow me to do lots of open source work and enjoy it. Your signing point is not accurate. It doesn’t apply to all packages, only casks in the off…

I would say I’ve embraced AI most heavily and I wrote this document so: yes. I review AI written code on Homebrew the same way I review code from a no avatar GitHub user with no pr…

> We'll lose support from you guys a year before Apple! Homebrew will still work (increasingly poorly) on macOS Intel for a year after that, it just won’t be “supported” or tested …

Try `brew version-install` (which uses `brew extract` and `brew tap-new` under the hood)

You’re thinking of mxcl, the creator, not me. I also applied and failed a final stage job interview at Google (and various other places over the years) but never really bothered me…
