Other than that, great work!
Is there any website that lists these patent trolls and their sister companies? I think this would be a great way to create awareness and potentially make people think twice before dealing with such companies.
The secret here is "incompetent". Being incompetent means these people have a hard time holding on to a job. Because they get no raise, no promotion and no special treatment. Heck, they don't even feel part of the team. Cause they're just the guy who does an OK job. Naturally, these people are often out of a job. And since every job quickly gets complicated for them, they tend to start their own little startup.
Contrast that to competent people. Chances are, they'll get hired to do something they love and be offered a comfortable salary. Therefore mitigating (in most cases) the need to create a startup.
Now the fun part, here are some examples of incompetent leaders I've known: - A web agency owner, who was the initial web developer for years, but writes HORRIBLE, INCREDIBLY VULNERABLE code. - A head sales representative who can't write properly in his maternal language. - A web agency owned and run by someone who doesn't know anything about technology. He calls jQuery "iPhone compatible technology". - The best, a boss who couldn't even speak in front of his mere dozen employees. I wonder how he negotiates his contracts.
Except if they are flowcharts !
I never actually went through with the idea, but it's definitely on my things-to-do-when-bored list!
For now, I use "say boom" to get notified of command completions. The boom sound is funny when coupled with errors. ;-)
The algorithm uses CPU cycles to generate the hash. So there is no way to speed it up, just by using a faster computer.
This is what happens technically : The CSS will get loaded, and the custom font will not be found. The browser will then use the fallback font. As the rest of the page gets loaded, so will the Javascript function. This will download and include the custom font, therefore changing the fallback font to the custom font.
The change of font may be quite disturbing, but hey at least people with slower connections can read meanwhile.
Otherwise, I really love the concept. Good going!
That's the one reason I wouldn't recommend each dev using a different package manager.
However, if we follow that logic, only experienced devs will venture to choose a different package manager. Which implies that he/she would be knowledgeable enough to edit his own .gitignore and whatnot.

Flash - Difficult to work with (I know most beginners struggle with it). Dreamweaver - Bloated software that generates weird HTML code. Acrobat - Slow and bloated software. Can't a PDF reader be simpler ?
But as adrocknaphobia pointed out 'this isn't "Adobe Brackets", it's just "Brackets"'. Turns out there's no hiding after-all.
With all the distros out there, having an installer for each would be quite intense.
