Awesome service! I've been testing it hard these days and I'm very pleased. One small request, could you allow changing the ssh port to 443 from the web?
When reading stuff like this I wonder, how do the Windows folks manage to do the same? A browser disguised as Visual Studio? doubledesktop.exe? I'm so thankful for my *nix with all these little toys.
I keep RDCMan open on my 2nd screen, always connected to an administrative RDP server in the production domain, usually with Perfmon pulling occasional counts of IIS users and connections from our clusters. Sometimes I'll have ADUC or DNS or DFS or WSUS or SSMS up instead.
Half of my monitoring tools and error logs, and all of my ticket systems, use web interfaces. So do Sharepoint and parts of TFS and Office365. I use Chrome and keep a dozen tabs pinned, most of which are work-related. HN and Imgur are among those.
And then there's the spattering of Office applications (Outlook, Word, Excel), and Lync and other chat clients, and Notepad++ and Snip tool and Fiddler and Putty and other utilities...
When I was stuck in a meaningless office job with too much time, I took to learning myself a perl (that was used for some login scripting so there was an interpreter lying about) using notepad to edit, and the windows cmd.exe to execute the scripts. One other (more senior) employee did get curious and asked me what I was up to, but I did have a script that was actually useful to get part of my job done, so I just showed that off. Then I went back to teaching Perl to play scrabble!
there was a site called readingatwork.com (I think) where classic novels were formatted as powerpoint presentations. I think that's what windows people do.
The thing is you have to be a medium-to-expert to be confident about Composer dependencies, every new dev is going to use the language API, which resembles a bunch of functions with no general pattern.
PHP users need to keep it together and set a common base, a standard library with sane defaults.
Hi! Cuban here, pretty much same situation as you, I feel your pain, every time I see the little broken robot when attempting to get anything from Google Code I thank we have Github and Bitbucket.
If Github gets blocked we should get something on, If only blocked governments took this issue seriously and had these essential services covered, but I guess something as amazing as github takes real starters and not some lame government founded dev group.
Anyway, just saying, we blocked people should hang around more often.
Forgive my ignorance, but who is doing the blocking? Is it American sites willingly censoring for legal reasons, or is the Cuban government blocking them for the country's own ISP?
Por que começar com português?
Queríamos começar com uma comunidade que atendesse a dois requisitos:
Um grande número de desenvolvedores talentosos, em que
Grande parte deles se sentisse muito mais confortável em falar sua própria língua do que o inglês
Why start with portugese?
We wanted to begin with a community that fulfilled two requisites:
Having a large number of talented developers and many of them feeling much more comfortable speaking their own language than English.
It seems to me this is a move to catch Brazilian developers, a wise move I'd say.
