i.e. Blizzard had lost the code and the assets to SC1 back around 2000 and had been issuing patches probably using a fucking hex editor

2018-06-05 18:14:49 UTC  

I worked at companies that had all those stuff in-house. I can get it for start-ups and very small companies. In case of the others, it is laziness and cheapness.

2018-06-05 18:15:24 UTC  

I don't talk about a kubernetes cluster in-house.

2018-06-05 18:15:38 UTC  

Maybe in some cases, but other times there is usually just a few web devs and a support tech that are just trying to do their best. Things are rarely perfect. It just is how it is sometimes.

2018-06-05 18:16:49 UTC  

thats small, I had univresity course projects with more team members.

2018-06-05 18:18:44 UTC  

@Deleted User same here. But the rest of the business can be quite large and there are just a few folks doing thing like websites, IT admin stuff etc. It really depends.

2018-06-05 18:23:13 UTC  

For example I used to contract at a place where the head of IT was a guy that came up from punchcards. He knew his stuff about managing things like service desks etc, but he didn't know about newer stuff and was reluctant to sign off on it (quite understandably) unless there was an official consultant round from a vendor. So the trick with him was "Well the official documentation from <insert software vendor> recommends".

Making carte blanche statements like "You should be doing" while you might be correct in a broader sense, sometimes just improving stuff a little bit can help loads.

TL;DR; rome wasn't built in a day and sometimes it is better to ease people into it

2018-06-05 18:38:58 UTC  

I never stated that, I said "should" not "must".

2018-06-05 18:40:30 UTC  

@Deleted User I know, I was just explaining my reasoning to you.

Infinite wisdom gives you all of the other ones. smh my head 😤

I'm really upset about GitHub being acquired by Microsoft

2018-06-06 04:25:21 UTC  

I'm not a CopyLeft guy, however I do back them in this case, as GitHub was this great platform to share open code projects

2018-06-06 04:25:42 UTC  

I think GitHub shat on everyone with that buyout.

2018-06-06 04:26:11 UTC  

Microsoft is the worst company to run a open source community.

I bet freenode is on fire right now

2018-06-06 04:27:29 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-06-06 04:27:37 UTC  

I never liked GitHub

2018-06-06 04:27:46 UTC  

I personally found GitHub useful.

2018-06-06 04:28:16 UTC  

Jenkins, GitLab, and other build or code-repository services lacked in proper design.

2018-06-06 04:28:33 UTC  

I will say GitHub is a well-done and well-established service and community.

2018-06-06 04:29:07 UTC  

Their business model strongly encouraged open-sourcing projects. Microsoft buying this sends a strong message that this will no longer be a priority.

2018-06-06 04:31:55 UTC  

I never cared to have my stuff open source. I keep all my stuff on a private fileserver I host at home.

2018-06-06 04:32:09 UTC  

It's not even like a website costs that much

2018-06-06 04:32:19 UTC  

The projects I work on are paid accounts on GitHub who keep their code closed.
