Oh wow. This would be excellent for language dependencies - ruby gems, node_modules, etc. Integrating this with something like pnpm [1], which already keeps a global store of dependencies would excellent.

I was a student at the ETC that year, and it was the first year Randy wasn't teaching, as he was sick. I hadn't met him yet, but the reverence the second-year students had for him was more than enough to convince the whole department to attend. I'm so glad I did. The values and ethics he built into the ETC made it a truly amazing place, and was great to hear his story.
As we are on a forum for startups - I sometimes think about how Randy might have been sharing his Mission/Vision/Values with us, but by other names; how his personal beliefs could be imbued into his lessons and the department itself. He did an amazing job.
Seriously - watch the video. You'll be inspired. You'll cry. You'll want to program really odd VR games just for fun :D
Grouparoo is a venture-backed software company building the open-source framework for managing, syncing, and syndicating data between your app(s) and all the marketing and operations tools your company needs to run. Do you need to keep your product database in-sync with Hubspot, Salesforce or Zendesk? Do you want to limit the PII that leaves your firewall but still build robust email-marketing cohorts to use in Mailchimp or Marketo? Do you want to experiment with new definitions of who “high LTV customers about to churn” are, and try new ways to re-engage them? That’s what Grouparoo does.
We are a small team looking for generalist engineers who are interested in Open Source, Javascript/Typescript, and connecting the world's data. Learn more about the position @ www.grouparoo.com/jobs

As our first hire, you’ll be a Founding Engineer at Grouparoo. You will be responsible for helping to craft the roadmap, developing features, fixing bugs, and building products that make our customers happy.

This use case really resonated with folks in the real estate and educational spaces.
As a developer, thinking about this is a great mental exercise for switching my thinking from “use public datasets” to “use user opt-in data” - what would I have used IP->GEO info for before? Guessing a user’s language? I can use Accept headers. Guessing a user’s real location? Better to use the web/mobile GPS api and get explicit consent. I guess the internal maps we make from our server logs will get less accurate... fine?
Because of redundancies in the US system, there are like 5:1 administrators for each doctor. That’s a huge source of the costs.
Medicare for all will likely cut a lot of those jobs to gain the savings. This show talks about if that’s good or bad for society.
This is sort of how Capistrano handled deployments, changing a symlink to all project deps and then signaling the process to reload
