We need a Glassdoor for the tech stack where devs can spill the beans on what's used internally at their company. On the company profile page you'd see their stack cross referenced with their financial support per project. This would make hiring managers pressure their hierarchy into making financial contributions just to be appealing to prospective employees

jfntn: sounds like a good idea. But who would implement this app/service ? 🙂

benedek17:05:42

yeah really good idea

benedek17:05:20

there was a similar idea on ycombinator couple of says ago

jfntn17:05:55

@benedek remember what it was?

jfntn17:05:54

http://stackshare.io sort of does that minus the contribution part

jfntn21:05:17

benedek: Thanks for digging it up. Top comment is def along the lines of what I was thinking

benedek22:05:04

what you are proposing is a bit more like marketing only. it is also a bit of name&shame, right?

jfntn22:05:40

Definitely shame 😛

I guess the tricky part would be to identify and quantify contributions. I can think of two main types of contributions: direct financial support going towards maintainers, and open-source work done by employees. I can think of a few ways to automate that but it might be a bit flaky

How do I change 

(set-default-font "Fira Code")
to allow me to specify a font size also ? (in addition to the font family)

michaelwfogleman21:05:53

(set-default-font "Fira Code 12")

qqq21:05:11

that worked;

benedek22:05:19

@jfntn @dotemacs would be interested to put together something simple, POC like thing…
