Pulp – software repository management

Pulp – software repository management.

Pulp is a platform for managing repositories of content, such as software packages, and pushing that content out to large numbers of consumers. If you want to locally mirror all or part of a repository, host your own content in a new repository, manage content from multiple sources in one place, and push content you choose out to large numbers of clients in one simple operation, Pulp is for you!

On experience

If I believe that I already know the answer and possess the truth, then I’m not genuinely open to learning larger truths.

This is the danger of experience. We already know better, we already know that an idea or business won’t work. This is one reason that naive, young founders are often the ones who start the most successful companies — they just don’t know any better, and they’re often too arrogant to listen to those who do.

Compatibility Breaks in CakePHP 3.0

Mark Story goes over a few reasons of why CakePHP 3.0 breaks compatibility in this blog post.   If you are working with CakePHP or involved in any large system that lives forever, you should read those in detail.  Otherwise, here is an overview:

  • PHP has changed
  • Ideas that didn’t work out so well
  • Outdated implementations
  • Improve consistency

Also, if you are working with CakePHP, you should attend the CakeFest 2014 event next week in Madrid, Spain.
