PageSpeed has been a savior for me! Every powerful tool when misconfigured can do some harm.

I've been using PageSpeed in production for over 3 years. It's definitely not a replacement of manual optimizations, but in some use cases, especially when you don't have full control o…

It's old news, but underused. This is a life savior especially when you have to deal with software that you don't control, which spits out unoptimized assets. If you have compilophobia, use …

It's great to see somebody caring about AsciiDoc as well, which is always getting neglected! Even GitHub supports it!

It's an essential feature that is dragging me towards Varnish even if this comes with tons of negatives.The bans feature is just amazing. And right or wrong, there are not that many implementatio…

GitHub is here because they've pioneered some stuff and people use it by inertia. And inertia doesn't last forever!

Well, those people _are_ very important. If GitHub was a platform only of paid customers without the plethora of open-source projects by non-payings customers (which are important customers still even…

I meant as a mindshare. Given Dart is older, it's just a matter of months for TypeScript to catch up and beat it in these indirect charts as well.

There are right and wrong ways to monetize. Putting basic features behind a paywall and per-server licensing as you pointed out is not something I can live with. Even if I don't use these feature…
