Not Jira. Hahahahaha.

Is anyone just using Git{Hub,Lab,Tea} issues and being fine with it? Is the absence of a Kanban board a deal breaker? Perhaps for management.

How do you deal with projects that have multiple Git repositories associated with them, but need to have their issues tracked in a single place?

For an on-prem general purpose logging server, it's fast and easy to maintain. The query engine supports fairly complex queries. Did I mention it's fast? Plus it's an industry standard so it's an easier sell in the enterprise. It's also actually not that expensive at low data volumes -- prices are comparable to Sumologic. Cheaper alternatives? You can roll your own logging server with fluentd and a database. Some fol…

I feel Splunk is maybe quirky It has lots of query processing operations, sure. But it can't do (at least not easily) some things you could do with bash/grep in "traditional" settings (example, get the context between lines that match a pattern)

The equiv of grep -Cx in splunk is just hit the show source link in an event.

Splunk has a more powerful feature though “| transaction“ - often in multithreaded logs i want the context but ignoring entries not from my thread. This feature does that

I've been enamored by Pipedream ( https://pipedream.com ) because as a Product Manager with engineering background, I can quickly hack together prototypes and get good feedback from customers :) . Pretty sure there are other nocode software but this is great for me.

Hi, I can't find the pricing. Is it completely free?

Yes.

Enterprise indeed, I had to use it when working with a client, it’s was ... different. No intergration with something like Jira, no support for pull-requests/merge-request, navigation is pretty terrible.

What? Tasks (unit of work) and Diffs (unit of code review) are its two central entities. Which parts of it were you using, if not those?

Sounds like that may not be Phabricators fault in that case. I was under the impression that you'd need Arcanist if you wanted to do reviews of diffs.

The problem may have been that we where only allowed to use the Git part.

Jetbrains IntelliJ. I use it for html, JS, CSS, Vue, node.js, Python, Java, SQL, etc. I’ve tried visual studio and some other IDEs, but find intellij to be superior in every way.

On the flipside, I find IntelliJ causes my computer to go into overdrive while VSC is pretty snappy. A shame because I love using their software. I guess I just need to get a new computer lol

That's because IntelliJ is creating an (I think) inverted index and dependency graph of your project for code completion/Intellisense and it uses multiple CPU cores to do this as fast as possible.

VSC won't do this to the same extent.

Inverted indexes are slow to create, but fast to query.

What other BI platforms have you used? We're looking to build out our BI infrastructure as a service for our customers and are currently testing google data studio but have looked into Sisense + Looker.

QuickSight, Tableau, Chartio. Disappointed with all of these

You should check out Holistics.io if you're disappointed with all 3 options. A balance between drag-and-drop for business users and SQL for data analysts, this is done through a SQL-based data modeling layer.

Disclaimer: I work at Holistics.

Absolutely loved SumoLogic for the six years or so we used it. Threw terabytes of logs at them a month and searches were always fast. Being able to do joins on logs was a godsend. I tried to work there but it seemed like they stopped hiring for a while.

Now I use Loggly... It's okay.

IDEA's IDEs as others have mentioned.

I've built enterprise software I enjoyed using (reputation.com), does that count? :)

I think Slack is the only enterprise software that I use every day and don't hate.

Definitely. It's much friendlier than Teams. Even little things like your own personal channel are so thoughtful, I use it outside of work as a cross platform clipboard (files and links).

I also am much more likely to prioritize Slack messages over email. It is just Skype with bells on, but it's still very good in it's own right.
