You comment about 'expressions of emotion' reminded me to tell this story. We have had wild Rainbow Lorikeets visiting us for over 20 years. In our recently previous home we were up to 5 generations of birds, then we…
I think Metroworks Codewarrior was before Eclipse as I used that for quite a while before Eclipse.
Anyway, this HN story is about Atlassian screwing up cloud hosting Let's not get away from the story
Isn't that because you weren't hosting local 10+ users in the first place?
Another reason to run things locally 'that just work for you' Especially when you are a smaller company/team.
I think I originally found it on a /. story sometime in 2012 and tried it out as more organised local txt file documentation system. And I loved the fact that I could write out the 'plan', test it, and then copy/paste…
