@rhythial Hey! On what kind of software are you working?
@rhythial Interesting! So engineering tools like CAD and such?
Yeah, same. But there are many ways to contribute. In the last days I've done some community work, like answering question from new users. A lot of new folks here in the last days :)
@0x11de784a Tools that stream delivery of software. I kind of work on magical glue software that ties a bunch of different tools used by my company together.
It's good that there are lots of new people, but the explosive growth is going to test the scalability - which isn't a bad thing :D
@rhythial Oh release engineering not just engineering, alright, misread that :D
I don't know if the official devs would say that scalability is tested already, but it's working quite well with over 1 million users. The one site I used for those numbers is down, but here are some more detailed numbers too if you're interested: https://mnm.social/
@0x11de784a Mostly release engineering tools right now. I used to work on high availability cluster software.
Sadly, I've no Ruby/Rails experience, or I might contribute some to #mastodon ... Heh.
