    I actually accidentally did this at school way back when. My mate and I decided to have an “Excel” race, where we’d start at the top of the sheet and see who could reach the bottom first by holding down either down arrow or pg down (this is obviously fun when you’re 15).

    Anyway, I reach the bottom, many laughs are had, go back the top, continue with whatever bullshit assignment we’d been given and then sent it off to the printer. Went onto some top down mini golf flash game and pissed about on there for a bit, until the teacher stands next to me and slams down a massive pile of paper onto my desk. She didn’t look impressed.

    Turns out I must have put a space or some random character at the bottom by accident and printed it. However the biggest issue was that I’d put my name in the header for the sheet, so every single page had my name in the top corner.




  • Well yeah strictly you don’t, but the idea of having a single machine under someone’s desk as a build server managed by one person where you have multiple dev teams fills me with horror! If that one person is off and the build server is down you’re potentially dead in the water for a long time. Fine for small businesses that only have a handful of devs but problematic where you’ve multiple teams.

    Bottom line for most business though: As long as the cost makes sense, why bother self-hosting anything. That’s really what it comes down to. A bonus too, as most companies like being able to blame other companies for their problems. Microsoft knows that, and profited greatly with Windows Server/Office/etc. for that very reason.

    Yup, exactly this. Why waste resources internally when you can free up your own resources to do more productive work. There’s also going to be some kind of SLA on an enterprise plan where you can get compensation if there’s a service outage that lasts a long time. Can’t really do that if it’s self managed.


  • I’m talking about in a professional environment. You basically need a team to manage them and have a backlog of updates and fixes and requests from multiple dev teams. If you offload that to something cloud based that pretty much evaporates, apart from providing some shared workflows. And it’s just generally a better experience as a dev team, at least in my experience it has been.
