I think they wrote an internal memo and by mistake they share with the public. I read because one person I know works there, now I don't know what my friend does there either. Sounds like another VC eating company.

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone using GitHub projects feature? on Monday January 17, 2022 @03:35AM (#29964552)
I didn't thought about its relation to wiki pages. that sounds really cool and yes my biggest interest is because it is inside Github, it must work seamlessly with own tools. I avoid for years because it is as you said "simple" and might not have the features we use heavily like discussions and sub-issues etc...
Their own statements?

Ask HN: Does anyone using GitHub projects feature?

I've worked with many teams for the past 15 years but never saw anyone using Github projects feature. Does anyone really using it? We are paying to other project/task management tools and really want to have them in one place but there are non-technical people in the team. I can use both but it will be a challenging to use different tools for different teams and also I can't find a reason to...

it is always good to read success after the story.
Re:GitHub Discussions Beta on Saturday February 22, 2020 @09:40AM (#22391248)
I'm not sure if this is necessary. Github, from the beginning, is a platform where we host our source code. I've never needed a discussion board because there are other sites that are precisely serving discussion boards, like StackOverflow. The idea of having everything on the same platform sounds easy but that is also taking out the opportunity of being a simple and elegant tool. Microsoft is changing Github since they acquired.

That makes me question ( because they are Microsoft), What happens when they add everything inside Github and then they don't like it? Will they have an opportunity of closing Github? Switching it to something inside their office tool? May be office suite for developers? Combine Visual Studio with Github and discussion boards and todo lists and CI tools... ???

I'm the kind of developer/product maker who likes to use a diversity of products. That feeds my creativity and makes me think differently.. I don't want to lose that one.

Anyways...

I wanna ask something different, What do you think if StackOverFlow adds git hosting? Will it work?

i live in istanbul/turkey, and i read most of the comments. the solutions provided ( dns, telegram, other mediums to use etc... ) seems practical but you are missing one thing, that part of the turkey, just started to use tools like twittter, fb, etc.. they don't have same knowledge as we in istanbul.

Blocking twitter, fb, and other tools, was their only chance to get information. i don't say all the information on those platforms are %100 correct but still, they are better then government provided.

Also imagine that, people on that area are just close to the border, yesterday two bombs dropped and 9 people died, 48 people injured and that is just the beginning. there was only social media for them to speak out now they don't. I don't usually follow the press but just because this is a fckng war, i read some news and articles. I can say that, if those people don't distribute the news or stuff happening there, I'm pretty sure the world will not know what is going on there and they will continue to create their own stories.

1) WHO are my most passionate people? 2) WHY will they want to connect to one another?

do you have structure to find why? should we directly find those users and shoot an email to them?

As an early stage starup founder, I always ask the same question, Why will our users come? Should we postpone the community building to the future? We take a step and start with hangout sessions, what do you think? Is it okay to try with hangout sessions or should we directly start with meetups?

Ask HN: Which soft skills do you develop as a programmer?

I have been a programmer for about 15 years now, and I still try to hone in on skills that will make me better every day. One thing I realized is that I do not spend as much time on soft skills, There also aren’t many companies out there who target programmers for soft skill development either.For me, I focus a lot on communication – especially presentation and public speaking, which is always...
