I agree with Jeff. FWIW, I find the SO community to be micromanaging, pedantic, and downright annoying to try to interact with. Which, I guess, is why I'm here and not there.
On the other hand, I guess it shows how little Heroku takes this list seriously that we hear about this announcement from the newsletter and not here? The community does lose some value without a certain level of interest and support from Heroku proper. --Justin On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 1:33 PM, Jeff Schmitz <[email protected]>wrote: > I agree. > > Stack Overflow is completely different from a mailing list.
