Does this mean you intend to let people self-host?
> I REPRESENT, OR KNOW OF, A COMPANY THAT COULD DO YOUR T-SHIRT FULFILLMENT REALLY INEXPENSIVELY. ... We have made the move away from using t-shirts as a reward in the interests of making global delivery of rewards simpler and to ensure Hacktoberfest continues supporting and raising awareness for open-source projects worldwide for years to come.
Disappointing really. Always looked forward to the cool designs and having a complete set for each year back-to-back. Not sure why they can't let people just opt-in purchase the shirt if they qualify.
Containous.
It doesn't sound bad in your head, but then you say it out loud. (Yes even the CEO pronounces it that way in videos too)
Imagine a blueprint editor similar to one found in UE4 or Unity, but for chat bots. You can place a node a connect it to other nodes to express the logic of a given bot command, we have support for Variables to persist data across invocations and also have Parameters so if you just want to import something from the marketplace without editing the nodes you get a simple form view.
It's still very Alpha, not all the nodes are implemented, variables are currently bugged, the editor can be a little buggy, but it's something I'm actively developing and plan to monetize eventually.

It also seems that Plasma was never actually sold. It was a preview that just required a free signup.
KR stood up by working closely with Pivotal who supplied both the Pivots to pair program with the comparatively inexperienced AF devs as well as the deployment platform.
While the means are debatable, the ends that Units supplying devs to KR had to face we're not. Those Units got back programmers completely reliant on Pivotal Cloud Foundary. You would get devs that had no concept of what happens to their code after they run `cf push` and the Units had to face the reality that their devs were ineffective without PCF which costed 10's of millions to purchase and maintain by a team of Pivotal engineers.
Obviously Pivotal is a company that exists to make profit but smaller units that supplied devs to KR largely felt taken advantage of. And after that you had things like SpaceCamp, LevelUp, Platform1, that are very similar to KR just without the heavy reliance on Pivotal or their products popping up left and right.
Now that it's gone on for so long even leadership in KR is getting pressured to actually produce a product ready app for all the money that's been dumped. They have plenty of MVP's but afaik nothing to big AF's satisfaction.
At least from a lowly enlisted programmers perspective you can live in Boston in civilian clothes for 6 months.
As far as I'm concerned, nuclear is clean comparatively.
Every step in Drone is just a container, so if I want a Golang build container I can just set the step image to Golang:latest and start running build commands. And if you're wanting to encapsulate some logic into a "plugin" you can just pre-make your own docker image and from there any settings you pass in with the steps are converted to environment variables that can be accessed inside the container. Many of the default drone plugins like docker registry build, etc. Are just a couple line bash scripts on GitHub.
