Have any other open source efforts other than Diaspora come out from them? I don't understand how they let Diaspora do a big bang code release of such poor quality if they are the Rails experts they are reported to be.
I tend to like Pivotal and have friends contracting them. Have any other open source efforts other than Diaspora come out from them? I don't understand how they let Diaspora do a big bang code release of such poor quality if they are the Rails experts they are reported to be.

I think the Diaspora just worked in the SF office. I don't believe it was a project out of Pivotal.
Not a bad article/video at all, but I don't believe the title of this thread to be appropriate. They weren't so much behind twitter, as they were brought on partway through the game to help with some (I assume) scaling concerns. (edit: I like pivotal, but keeping the quality on HN is essential to my being)

It's more about changing the culture of Twitter engineering department.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's correct. We just let them use the space; we don't code with them.
Being co-located I would hope folks would have taken an interest and the Diaspora folks having enough maturity to ask for early feedback from the more experienced folks in the room from Pivotal or others.
