Tom here. Just saw this got posted on HN and wanted to say I’m happy to answer any questions about how we tackled Enterprise at GitHub (the main topic of the podcast) or anything else, really!

&gt; I almost always struggle with Google&#x27;s login thing. It&#x27;s always chosen the wrong person. I&#x27;m always having the wrong permissions, and it&#x27;s infuriating. Places like Slack do this as well. Go and try to log into your Slack account on a specific one. It&#x27;s like, &quot;Oh my God. I have like, 12. And I have to remember that my one password is just littered with Slack log ins.&quot; It&#x27;s like, &quot;I&#x27;m just one person. Either I have access to a room, or I don&#x27;t.&quot;<p>Ha, I have the same issues with accounts on Google and (previously) Slack. GitHub&#x27;s approach to simplicity is really something that differentiates them from not only competitors but other companies in IT. It&#x27;s an interesting counterexample to the typical stereotype that engineers cannot build products with good UX.<p>&gt; Which is where a lot of our chat up stuff came from.<p>It should be &quot;chatops&quot; instead of &quot;chat up&quot;.

Super interesting. I saw you mentioned the headaches that came with merge requests. Did you having the same problem with separate prod, staging, test, and dev repos via a forking git workflow?

Unfortunate timing as Github is currently suffering issues [1].<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;githubstatus?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;githubstatus?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctw...</a>
