> I estimate conservatively I produce $500,000 in value a year Do you actually earn this amount per year? Or, is this just a projection of what you think the value of code you write is?

I think he was talking about the value he generates, so possibly something like revenue/profit per employee kind of thing. For example, FB and Google make more than $1M revenue per employee. You can go more granular and look at the impact of your team or yourself as well. But can be his comp as well, these are not unheard[1] of numbers. [1] https://levels.fyi

Yes, I'm talking about value. My comp is less than that figure. There are some developers with total comp like that though.

While VS Code is definitely good in general, and first choice for languages like JavaScript, I find it really hard to compare it to JetBrains PyCharm and GoLand (understanding GoLand has no free version). The debugging and refactoring experiences for Go and Python in VSCode feel slow, awkward to set up and configure and just generally tacked-on. I have gotten the PyCharm professional and GoLand licensed through my em…

Just an anecdote from a sample size of one - I had a recent situation where I had to nagivate and edit a code base that was a mix of Go, C++, and JS. And I had a paid IntelliJ Ultimate license. Long story short, VSCode did the best/fastest go-to-defintion like navigation given the constraints. IntelliJ separating Clion to a separate install is rather unfortunate. I can edit Java and Go together, but not C++

I think it's because CLion is a bit of a separate codebase, integrating with GDB and all that, rather than just a language plugin that's also sold as a separate IDE as is the case for other languages.

This is also why the Rust plugin only has proper debugging capabilities in CLion.

Must be fun for @sytse to watch these GitHub announcements every year, where they consistently release the same thing GitLab rolled out two years prior. Codespaces -> https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/web_ide/ Insights -> https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/insights/ GH Actions -> https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/ etc

GH is clearly not innovating nearly as much as GitLab and hasn’t been for a long time, but since they have so a huge chunk of the market already they can see what works and what doesn’t work for GitLab and cherry pick what they like. Apple operates in a very similar manner - in many areas they lag behind.

Is there a way yet for me to run a server on Windows, and be able to code anywhere from my web browser? I basically want code-server that works on Windows. https://github.com/cdr/code-server

I'm sure he'll have his usual blogpost moaning about how Gitlab already has it by end of day.

Why wait until the end of the day on the west coast? :) We just posted https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/05/06/git-challenge/ where we encourage you to compare:

1. GitHub Insights with GitLab Insights, Contribution Analytics, Issues Analytics, Productivity Analytics, Value Stream Analytics, DevOps Score, Code Review Analytics, and CI/CD Analytics.

2. GitHub security features with GitLab Container Scanning, Dependency List, Dependency Scanning, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Security Dashboard, Static Application Security Testing (SAST), and Secrets Detection.

3. GitHub Codespaces with the GitLab Web IDE, CI/CD Environments, Review apps, and Live Preview.

You can register your own machines with Visual Studio Codespaces: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/bring-your-own-m...

It's not entirely self-hosted, but it's an interesting hybrid middle-ground.

I understand that many companies will be seduced by the offering and what could come next: * No more source code on developers machine so better for security. * No more development environment to setup and all the devs sharing the exact same settings: simplified onboarding of devs. * No need for costly developers machines. * No more infra to setup to host the source code repository, the CI/CD workflows (even if many…

> dashboards for managers with all sort of stats on developers: code quality with arbitrary rules, productivity (number of lines of codes), number of stars from other developers, etc.

How does GitHub Codespaces allow for any of this? All of this was already possible with plain git, no?

I had not seen that...interesting.

It was just on the front page last week for a new feature launch (project hubs). The design is very minimal, but it’s organized into several different composable features. The author is on here often. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23030489 I haven’t migrated over completely from GH yet, but it’s a compelling option.

Codeberg[1] also recently had some conversations here.[2]

I'd definitely encourage everyone to git GL a try - our teams switched over from GH + Jira about a year ago, and haven't looked back. The integrated CI and project management features are a game changer.
