Exciting culmination of a few years work: @Workbrew_ 1.0 is out today.
Workbrew aligns the needs of developers and security teams. Now you can deploy `brew` with real-time vulnerability scanning, license visibility, and CVE alerts. Say hello to Workbrew 1.0

@niladam Depends how slow we're being :D. If it's been hours: tell them to chill. If it's been days: tell them I'm busy and will get to it soon. If it's been weeks/months: get my shit together.

@mxmcd @mitchellh @Workbrew_ I wish that it could be too. That doesn't make it so, though. It's written in a language that hasn't historically making that sort of highly parallelised logic either easy or performant. We're working on changing that.

@mitchellh - as a volunteer run rolling release package manager, we are conservative with dependencies because the support load is too high otherwise - over at @Workbrew_ we’ve raised funding to solve problems exactly like this with more resources than volunteers can provide. Stay tuned.

Your boundaries are not "rules" you get to decide that others will always follow. Your boundaries are how you respond when others are unwilling or unable to follow your "rules". Inevitably, people will violate your boundaries. What's up to you is how you react to that.

Anyone else at FOSDEM this weekend? If so: come say hi at the Homebrew booth (or, if I'm not there, email me and we'll figure something out).

@AaronPresley If you're an early-stage startup and not reliant on a bunch of single vendors: you're wasting time.

@ryanchenkie @MacHomebrew Project Leader here. This seems taken down now. There's little we can do about this really, it keeps happening again and again and @Google seems to like taking money from scammers. Please signal-boost this and hopefully someone at Google will fix this for good.

Do your team (and yourself) a favour and go look at your last CI and/or deployment runs and ask yourself "which of these things could be faster/cached/skipped"? Now: go do that and live a happier life.

Being willing to say "sorry" genuinely, early and often is a superpower. Friends, partners, coworkers and customers all love it. (Being British definitely gives you a head-start on being good at this, though)

If you're interested in @MacHomebrew's Q&A on @Workbrew_: check out this post, too.
Homebrew is pleased to congratulate @Workbrew_ on their 1.0 launch today. We understand that the community will, rightly, have questions. You’ll find some answers in the linked post. Homebrew itself is and will always remain OSS.
