# Brute-force way to retrieve all Github's repositories at once
# Usage:
# github_repos.rb clone # will clone all the user's repositories
# github_repos.rb clone test # will just clone 6 repositories for testing purposes
# github_repos.rb pull # will update all of the user's local repositories
#
# If you have forked repositories, the original sources will be added
# as remotes with the default 'forked_from' name, and a new 'forked_from'

Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.
When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes. Hell yes. Immediately. But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why? Why me? What am I supposed
to say that's interesting? Something about Ruby, perhaps. Maybe the
future of it. The future of something, at least. That sounds
keynote-y.

(This is the text of the keynote I gave at Startup Riot 2009. Will update when video becomes available.)

Hi everyone, I’m Chris Wanstrath, and I’m one of the co-founders of GitHub.

GitHub, if you haven’t heard of it, has been described as “Facebook for developers.” Which is great when talking about GitHub as a website, but not so great when describing GitHub as a business. In fact, I think we’re the polar opposite of Facebook as a business: we’re small, never took investment, and actually make money. Some have even called us successful.

Which I’ve always wondered about. Success is very vague, right? Probably even relative. How do you define it?

After thinking for a while I came up with two criteria. The first is profitability. We employ four people full time, one person part time, have thousands of paying customers, and are still growing. In fact, our rate of growth is increasing – which means January was our best month so far, and February is looking pretty damn good.

1) Torne-se excelente.
Seja realmente bom em alguma coisa. Não fique só choramingando ou
querendo progredir às custas dos outros. Não pense q pq vc sentou 4
anos numa faculdade ouvindo um professor falar sobre software q vc
sabe alguma coisa. Jogador de futebol não aprende a jogar bola tendo
aula. Ele pratica. Instrumentistas geniais nao aprendem a tocar tendo
aula. Eles praticam. Pratique. Chegue em casa depois do trabalho e da
