Looks great, can you explain how it differs from say PLEX?

Twitter staff != Twitter Inc

The clickbait is real with this one. Nothing shocking or "secret" here that a 30 second skim of the documentation wouldn't reveal.

As a hiring manager that gives take home tests rather than testing on site, I feel on balance it gives a better idea of what they're capable of than a barrage of on site tests & technical questions. Given the option of spending half a day on site and half a day at home coding, are you saying you'd prefer that over a full day including half a day of whiteboard and programming with people watching what you do?

There isn't a correct answer I guess, nothing will suite everyone.

Edit: changed to a less snarky response.

It's been in a prominent position on the front page of BBC news all morning - not sure how much more exposure you can give it really?

Spotify have the exact same pricing model/discrepancy http://thenextweb.com/insider/2015/07/08/spotify-is-actively...

It probably won't affect the review process, but it will at least make targeting both browsers from a dev perspective potentially (hopefully!) trivial.

The biggest surprise for me is that they weren't already doing this. Or perhaps they were and this is just adding a way to opt out?

From the guidelines:

"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

I'm a hacker. I found this interesting (and sad).

Often the problem being solved by this sort of thing isn't directly about making it easier to work with a language, but making it easier to hire developers. The hiring pool for developers who are very good with PHP is much much larger than a lot of other languages simply by virtue of it being an easy language to get started with.

This is also why Facebook has spent so much time and effort on things like HHVM and Hack.

Why do you want be a UX engineer and GitHub specifically?

Perhaps apply for UX positions at other companies - ones that are actually hiring in that position, and build up some working experience in the field.

I'm a hacker, and I found this interesting. What now?

One good one will do.

I'm very comfortable with the command line in general already, and if I have to I can use git on the command line. I've just always felt a GUI is the best interface for git - personal preference I suppose.

I'm a very visual person when it comes to code, and being able to see a nice history/diff etc inline with a few clicks just sits better with how I view the world & my ideal workflow.

I appreciate I'm probably in the minority on that though, as evidenced by the lack of client from those two big players I assume they feel that way too!

As strange as it sounds the lack of a decent git GUI is one of the reasons I don't feel comfortable using Linux as my main development environment (not the only reason of course).

It's a big pitty neither Github nor Atlassian (the big "git" players, in my mind) seem inclined to release a GUI client for Linux.

Speaking as someone who created an extension for a Google service (Youtube) - the name change was forced on me. My extension was taken down from the Chrome store with guidance to change the name to "XXX for YouTube" with the requirement to follow their branding guidelines etc.

Serious question, because I can't imagine your use case - under what circumstances would you wan't to block all bots except one?

Well, based on that quote they can throttle what they want - but they have to do it equally across all similar applications. So for example they can't throttle Youtube and not throttle Netflix - they have to throttle both (or neither).

It'll be because he has javascript disabled, I would imagine.
