Up to what scale? This works well for a couple dozen repos per team in my experience. It’s also my preferred way to work. It doesn’t scale so well to hundreds of repos per team wit…

Definitely - we recently moved issue tracking to another system after 15+ years and found there were too many links to abandon, so we run a service that just redirects old URLs.

Breaking down work so it can be delivered incrementally is an underrated skill. Simplifies communication about progress, builds confidence in ability to deliver, and makes it easie…

The old URLs aren’t kept around to redirect to the new location?

I’d like to see better centralized support generally from CI systems. Six months of steady migration and a custom DSL seems alarmingly common. CI Wishlist: * testable outside of CI…

When 90% of your "students" fail to complete the courses, you have an epic failure on your hands. MOOCs are not working. I completed every course I signed up for when I was going t…

I haven't used a serious app in production on OpenShift, but I have been playing around with a Java project recently. Assuming I get it to production, I'm going to stick with OpenS…

Flask and Rails have different focuses. I've used both and like them both quite a bit, but I've found there is often a clear winner depending on the task at hand. Flask is a microf…

Fair enough, I'd be reacting similarly I'm sure. I get that two years is too short, but how long do you expect a device like this to be supported? I think I recall three major upda…
