people really do that?

Klonoar 5 months ago [–]

The only time I ever search GitHub is when I'm trying to debug or understand some esoteric API (usually Apple-specific) and I'm looking for anybody else who has actually used the god damned thing.

If I'm looking for software/libs/etc, GitHub search is the absolute last thing I would even think to look for.
