anybody have alternative suggestions for 'dogfood' vs. 'selfdogfood' to communicate what we mean by dogfood in an indieweb context?
#
tantek
is done arguing with people at corps claiming they are "dogfooding" their neato new platform tech just because they setup some work site to use it.
#
aaronpk
so you want to make a distinction between publicly-accessible deploys vs deploys internal to a company?
#
tantek
no - the distinction is personal vs. corp
#
tantek
personal creation vs. corp creation
#
tantek
personal deployment vs. corp deployment
#
tantek
personal critical use vs. corp critical use
#
tantek
the *self* rather than the *corp*
#
tantek
the public/internal deploy is less relevant.
#
tantek
e.g. all our indieweb sw that we create / run is somewhat semi-privately dogfooded (unless you're always checking in all your code to github first)
#
aaronpk
ok, so personal vs corporate use
#
tantek
basicallyl, corp dogfooding isn't really worth much (if anything) in the indieweb context.
#
aaronpk
yea I think open source should not necessarily be a factor here
#
tantek
right

open source is a separate principle from dogfooding :) http://indiewebcamp.com/principles
#
aaronpk
that's a good page
#
tantek
yeah. tommorris is the man.
#
tantek
I love how "I'm tired of saying X and having to explain it all" is such a common motivator for starting pages.
#
tommorris
thanks tantek.
#
tommorris
takes a break from Java monkeying for pizza.

for some reason this article really resonated me from an #indieweb DIY perspective, in that sense of: don't wait for the perfect moment / setup / design to build your indieweb site, just start doing it: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/12/27/chuck-close-on-creativity/
#
tantek
curious what others here think of it
#
tantek
and related, to writing in particular, e.g. posts on your blog / indiesite: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/11/20/daily-routines-writers/
