If not UML, what do you recommend for most effective communication?

ERDs? Documentation tools? Or do you simply tell the engineer to read the code?


Yes, just read the code (and whatever textual documentation comes along with it). The best I can hope for is a set of OO interfaces that is really well-described in their comments. And some oral presentation/walkthrough. And some small tasks to get me acquainted with a new codebase. If there's a large library, some HTML-based documentation, perhaps even with examples, is very fine.

This, in addition to the increase in traffic we detected directly before, smells of DOS. Also, it is Friday the 13th.


We are able to reach some servers but not all in our us-east AZ and notice it seems to be random.


Maybe someone from GitHub can tell us.

I'm having a difficult time reasoning as to the motivation behind all the DDOS attacks. Why would anyone want to disrupt a tool for open, public collaboration used by many free and open-source technologies.

Anyone have any insight?


Github.com is a profitable entity that makes a fairly large amount of money. Additionally, Github.com hosts a lot of content. Content that other people may not like.

Possibilities are: 1) Extortion of some sort i.e. We want your money, or we'll DDoS you every week 2) Content i.e. Remove repositories a, b, and c with content we don't like, or we'll DDoS you every week 3) Weapons demonstration i.e. We want to show off what l33t hax0rs we are, so we'll DDoS Github.com every week


Do they not have the bandwidth or resources to stop or mitigate something like this from happening? I would've thought they'd have better resources in place in case of something like this.


Just a theory, but perhaps some hackers trying to flex their muscles and stroke their ego's by taking down GitHub.


Would make sense. Saw a bunch of that at the Rio during defcon. Print my boarding pass? Nope. Somebody broke all of the machines. Order a movie or checkout on the TV from my room? Nope. Someone broke the outdated system.

Tools gonna tool.


To a degree this is pretty funny. Are you sure the hotel didn't do it on purpose just to remove the opportunity for hackers to get over on the hotel?


Yes. These systems weren't disabled, they were broken.

Not trying to be a buzkill, but I fail to see how it's funny. So you can break an old - undoubtedly unpatched - win xp box that people use to print boarding passes. Congrats.

and a lot of closed source commercial projects.
