GitHub Raises $250M at $2B Valuation

We moved from lynq to slack, and the first thing I noticed is I have a gigabyte less memory. Slack eats memory worse than atlassian products.
It uses around 300 mb on my machine. It is a lot but surely not 1 gb...
I restarted slack about three hours ago, and as of right now it's using 552MB [0] across 5 processes. It goes back down if I restart it, and that was enough of a "wontfix" for the slack team when I reported it.

Yet to meet a developer who's as excited about using Jira as about using Github issues...
Despite having a gazillion issue trackers, something halfway between the two would be welcome. GitHub issue tracking is not good enough to manage any kind of large project, JIRA is a bit of a beast. I'd prefer having an integrated JIRA any day, though I do still strongly DISLIKE JIRA. There's still opportunity for something better IMHO. (For very small teams, I find that's Trello, but Trello isn't really for large gr…
I am currently trying out Kanboard [1]. Not as slick as Trello but self-hosted and easy to install. Wonder whether anybody else has tried it and what they think about it.

If you're hiring based on GitHub profiles, you're absolutely doing it wrong. I've seen plenty of total idiots with flashy GitHub profiles, and many -- if not all -- of the best coders I know have essentially nothing on GitHub. A GitHub profile page is a strong signal only that you have a GitHub account. Any other use is strictly off-label.
Punch cards, followers, stars on the repositories of the user, important contributions - all are available at a bird's eye view. You are missing the point if you just check whether the person HAS a github profile.

> One thing I can't figure out how to do in Github is see all forks of a repository. Is this possible to do? Yes, just click on the number of forks. It takes you to: https://github.com/golang/go/network Members tab is a simpler enumeration of all forks. https://github.com/golang/go/network/members (Similarly, to see the people who have starred a repo, click on that number.)

The point and click aspect is potentially significantly complicated by the fact that the parent indicated that he's blind. I've never tried GH with a screen reader, so I'm not sure what the usability is like in that case.
Ah, I only read the part I quoted, so I didn't realize that. No wonder I got downvoted.
I know GitHub has at least some considerations because if you press tab, it shows a hidden "Skip to content" button (which I thought was a bug, but learned it's for screen readers). But I can tell the Network tab doesn't look as reader friendly as the Members tab because it uses some non-standard canvas element or so.

Thanks, the network graph is completely inaccessible. Members tab is accessible though so gets me what I need.
Sorry, I didn't realize you were a blind developer, so my "I can't believe you didn't see it, just click the number" comment was unfitting. I'm glad that the Members tab is helpful.

I'm on a team of ~40. Doing fine with Slack, Github, and Trello (and no Atlassian products).
Would you mind elaborating on your workflow? I tried pitching something similar to this to my team of 12 and got a lot of resistance.
I've temporarily put my email address in my profile. Email me and I'll go into detail.

Just out of curiosity, how many channels are you subscribed to? Also how many messages per hour? more or less...

I'm not positive they use it for issue tracking but they may. In my case, I was dealing with a single repo with 1000 or so contributors, and they were community people so it was very hard to get them to file quality structured bug reports, and the system didn't really allow for asking questions. It lacks strong organizational features, categorization, issue templates, search, and ability to save filters. I've seen a…
I would agree with you on most points, but isn't categorization accomplished by tags?
They can be applied by the owner, but I guess I was thinking more of the ability to have a required 'component' field or a required field for the type of the ticket.
