I can't speak for everyone but, in my case, it comes down to the ease of setup and having someone else manage it.
Come to think of it, I think there is a community fork. It’s also used by the Wikimedia Foundation, so I might look at whether they are/could push changes to their own fork upstream.

Deploying software that’s no longer maintained afresh

There’s a tool that I’ve used at other companies that I absolutely love. It has features that few other products have and I’m a lot more productive with it than with those other products.Wile there are efforts by open-source contributors, it’s no longer maintained by its original developers and hasn’t been for approximately two years.I’m thinking of using it at my startup, but I worry that...

I’m sure there’s a joke in here to be made about dating apps.

There’s bitter and then there’s whatever the fuck I just read.
This doesn’t actually answer the question.
Thanks! I think the paper trail is something we can improve upon, so this is really helpful feedback.
Thanks! I think the whole sick leave thing is probably going to be our best choice.

Handling lack of motivation and communication in early-stage startup

I have an employee who I’ll call B. B joined us and got off to a good start but has recently faltered - having missed an all-hands and two weekly 1:1s with me - and is now producing no output at all.I’ve asked B repeatedly - both as their boss and their friend (”never hire friends” feels true here!) - what’s wrong and if I can help, and I’ve had another employee who leads on admin, including...
