what are your thoughts on Retrospring outliving ask.fm by a few months?

I'm more confused about the fact that we apparently started a shutdown spree for all the major QA sites.

Hello! What kind of resources would be needed to run a small retrospring instance? (about a dozen users)

Not too much, up until 40k users we were running Retrospring on a 4GB AWS Lightsail VPS. And that wasn't just the Rails app, but the database and Redis all on the same host too.

So it doesn't need too many resources.

Are there plans to properly document the retrospring code? I tried setting up an instance, but there was a lot of troubleshooting needed, and ultimately I couldn't get it to work.

Hmm, that now depends if you tried the old docs that are referenced in the project readme, or the newer ones that I wrote up after the shutdown announcement

Are these docs for setup from source any better to understand for you?

How far (in terms of time) are you willing to commute for in order to have well paid work?

An hour, or one and a half at most? Considering I'd need to return home as well that needs to be doubled and losing 3 hours out of a day for commute would be a lot already.

If the job was that far away I'd of course prefer home office if available.

Do you talk about money with your friends?

Yes. In general, even if it might be an uncomfortable topic, money talk/salaries should be discussed. Not to make someone else feel bad, but to show people that they potentially earn less than they deserve.

Is eating at hooters something that appeals to you?

I don't think we have Hooters in Germany, and aside that, I don't think it's a place that's famous for its food.
