This is interesting. Any hint at what the pricing model will be? I'm not seeing anything.

The plan is to keep the current functionality free and add premium features for remote teams in the future.

I can't speak for OP, but GOF (Gang of Four) is a reference to the four authors of a classic Design Patterns text. [1] This repo appears to be Python examples of some of the patterns referenced in the original text.

[1]: Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides

I really hated that book. It was pressed on us hard during uni along with java and at the end of it all I was ready to ditch tech altogether and become a carpenter. Then I discovered Python, a new language at the time, and it made programming really enjoyable. And now we're back full circle, except the world is saturated in Python this time (as pointed out in the article) but it's the same types of people still pressing OO and OO design patterns on us all over.

It's probably the job market for web developers dictating the sorts of personalities that are broadcast the farthest, but for anyone else aggravated by this new vanguard of PC programmers: get yourself a functional language or work closer to the hardware or just plain get out of programming. They'll probably follow you there as well but the regress isn't infinite and you'll eventually land somewhere safe from these pinched-faced passive aggressives.

Some of the states in the US are doing this as well. For example, Tennessee.[1]

There is a project[1] + whitepaper[2] on projecting the likelihood of future white collar crimes written by Sam Lavigne, Francis Tseng, and Brian Clifton.

I have a side project that seems stuck in the mid 6-figures. My 6 month avg spend for AWS is 4.62%. However, that percentage is not linear. It would jump a tier around .85mm

Aside from HN, perhaps you could try:

* IRC Channels

* Twitter (search by profile contents and/or hashtags)

* Mastodon? Still a bit unproven, but the atmosphere there resembles the 90s web.

mastodon has a few. try the tech instance or sec one

I forgot to add Lobste.rs

Thank you for the citation; I've ordered the book. Would you happen to have any other book recommendations on the topic, or adjacent topics?

Also, Soros's The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means, though Graeber's book is what really brought Soros's claims into focus for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HKIFR4

Bailout by Neil Barofsky is very good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00818J57W

For critical responses to Graeber's book, the Crooked Timber seminar on it is well worth reading. http://crookedtimber.org/category/david-graeber-debt-seminar...

Similarly, adding a setup.sh for clean installs doesn't hurt.

I thought there was a gnat on my monitor. What is that thing on the "h"?

It's how Maltese represents the Arabic ح in the Latin alphabet.

It appears some of the 18F crew are behind this. I'm interested to see what unfolds in this repo.

Actually it would appear to be the Defense Digital Service

  https://www.dds.mil/

The contact in the license points to a dds.mil address

Forgive my ignorance. I thought 18F and Digital Services were interlinked.

DDS spun out of US Digital Service and DDS members go through the USDS hiring pipeline.

18F, USDS, and the Presidential Innovation Fellowships are philosophically related, but organizationally and functionally distinct.

The Defense Digital Service and the US Digital Service are distinct organizations: http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/11/meet-head-penta...

I'm from 18F, and I'm now a "contributor", but only because they accepted my pull requests. :)
