At this point I'm fairly certain you're just trolling me... can you give me any example of why you frown upon running with different local configurations?
We have a dev environment where all our code builds upon checkout and then we have our own local environments to actually do development on. What's the problem with someone deciding that they want to run at hostname alias so-and-so on their local machine or port whatever instead of what's the default?
Sadly, I've all but stopped replying to anyone with less than 500 karma here. Karma is so easy to get on this site that anyone that's been here for any length of time that can't get over that threshold is probably either intentionally trolling or has difficulty with common courtesy. Case in point, where philliphaydon came out blasting with:
So basically you're saying is Stack Exchange development team does what ever the fuck they want to do?
You didn't give anywhere near enough information for someone to come to the conclusion he came to. And the anger with which he presents it is uncalled for.
I've been here for far longer than you and I'm still stuck in the 300 karma range. Why? Because of my timezone. Most people are asleep when I'm awake.
It is virtually impossible for me to submit an article and have it viewed by a large number of people before it is pushed off the front page. So all my submissions get low score, only for the same article to be submitted later in the day once NY and LA have woken up and get big karma scores for someone else. I've given up submitting, which is how you accumulate the big karma scores.
