ps pipe grep: Episode 18 (Trial and Error)

By David Young 8 August 07

Ben, Jason and David discuss source code control systems and much more as they come back from a long hiatus.

ps pipe grep.

I’m serving the podcast from my Bingo disk.

Here’s a direct link to the mp3.

This week’s music: Royksopp.


  1. One question I had that I hadn’t heard/read the answer to:

    You guys waited 3 years to release the source under a free/open license (GPLv2). Looking back, would you say now that you a) could’ve/should’ve released it sooner? Or b) that the 3 years you spent as the exclusive vendor for Connector (and the associated revenue) was necessary to bootstrap the development/growth of the product? or c) some other issue lead you to keep it behind closed doors for so long?

    I completely applaud the decision, but I’m just curious as to some of the background on the business side about what kept you from releasing it sooner.

  2. @Cameron: the code sucked, until recently. One doesn’t walk on the beach naked unless studly. :) I’m not joking.
