My favorite entry so far: More rounded corner images. Why must corners be rounded? Why, Web 2.0, why? - Frederic

There isn't even such a thing as Web 2.0. It's just media hype. Get over it, and think of the supposed new version of the Internet as a simple increase in understanding and use of advanced technologies. - Voyagerfan5761

Question: What's this crawlmanager status page? Is that an internal thing? It sounds interesting. - Voyagerfan5761

Yup, it's an internal page that allows us to keep an eye on the crawl system. - Paul Buchheit

changeset: 50bb94a18270 user: bret date: 2008-02-26 13:23:50 description: Undo shitty code. - Benjamin Golub

@Paul: Figures. I wanted to look at it. :D @Benjamin (we really need the ability to insert line breaks in comments!): I saw that one. It's quite amusing, isn't it? The things developers put in their version control commit comments... - Voyagerfan5761

Is there a friendfeed-changelog user or should I just imaginary-befriend it? - Urbansheep

I just added it to my feed, so you can subscribe to me - Bret Taylor

Sneaky way to get more subscriptions :) - Glenn Slaven

thx, @bret, you already were in my deck of subscriptions before. :) - Urbansheep

Slippy approves of the phrase "Delicious factor", as well as "better error reporting" when it's immediately followed by "even better error reporting" - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane

Oh, and I vote we rename Web 2.0 to Web Country. - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane

@Frederic: Sharp corners hurt. Rounded corners are safer for kids. - Amit Patel

So how many cuss words in a changeset description does it take to get filtered? - David Vasileff

At my last weekly meeting my boss asked our group that we not swear in our commit logs anymore; he was concerned about someone reading them and using it as a way to say "John Doe has a history of aggression, look at these logs!". But sometimes you just need to vent when committing at 3am :P - Benjamin Golub

I actually got an entire team of folks canned one time because of my variable names and comments. When I worked at Nokia, my team was all under the same contracting agency. I was laid off with about 500 other folks, but a lot of my immediate team members were kept on for another month or so after I left. I had a habit of when I coded using wrassler names for my variables - and one of the Finnish higher ups got a hold of one of our code reviews and slated the rest of my team for removal based on the fact he "didn't find it funny or professional." - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

@Mark: lol. @Benjamin, Chris: I agree that venting in commit logs is something that is just fine. I see all kinds of stuff in the revision history (Subversion) of MediaWiki. - Voyagerfan5761

btw, i really like that you can't insert line-breaks in comments. It helps keep them short, and I think the current range of comment lengths is just about right for what ff is. - j1m

Bret, did you really work for 24 hours straight on 2/23? Did that IE spacing bug really take 5 hours to fix? Or do you only need 3 hours of sleep a day? :) - Marc Chung

Love it love it love it! How about letting us see the source code too? Or maybe a write up about the general design? - Neil Dunn

Brilliant. - Philipp Lenssen
