Agreed. Private or public doesn't matter, the cloud is just not the place to store sensitive information.

Agreed...it's not that hard to install a Git server on your own box and use that instead.

I agree, but it's still a pretty serious bug in the GitHub extension software.
If I delivered such a bug to my clients, free or not, I might lose my job

You'll need to practice ahead of time, but the rest is fairly simple to make your passwords not only easier to manage but also more secure. Or just do what I do and use 'password' everywhere

Sooo... when a site says my password expired and I have to set a new one? 
Another shortcoming would be sites with names that are too short to produce a proper password (HP.com anyone?) - how do you even know what the correct length is? When setting the password, it may tell you the minimum length, but not when trying to login. Or do you just always pad it to some length you expect is "good enough"?

Simple! Come up with an entirely new algorithm, then memorize which sites use which algorithm. So much easier!

Or, go back through every site, setting new passwords based on the new key...

Fun! I live for that crap. 
Actually though, I don't know if any site has every reset my password without me asking it to.
Hmm... now that makes me wonder...
<rhetorical>Why do we enforce changing our passwords at work so often? </rhetorical>

I have an Ebay account. I haven't used it for quite a while. I logged in a few days ago. And Ebay said my password had expired and I had to set a new one. 
OK, so, maybe they saw that I hadn't set a new password for a while. Maybe they saw that I hadn't logged in for a while. But, maybe they store passwords in plain text and saw that it had low complexity!

I actually know the answer to that question. It is because EBay was hacked quite some time back and they forced everyone to reset. And, your point about forcing resets is a very good one.

I use something with "horse staple".
I can't say any more as it could lead to a breach in various accounts including this one

REALLY!? I should change my passwords immediately!
And I'll never believe anything xkcd says again... This password was supposed to be uncrackable!

Sorry, simple substitution cypher is easily cracked.

Go agile, or die. It sounds overdramatic, and it is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is the reality for a majority of businesses in the software development industry. “To Be Is To Do” “To Do Is To Be” “Do Be Do Be Do”

Yes, as our tame Scrum evangelist says, "you can't do Agile, but you can be Agile by doing Scrum".

The vast majority of businesses in the software development industry are going to die - whether they are agile or not - because it is a fast moving, chaotic and undefined industry and because the potential rewards for getting it right are so stratospheric that it continues to draw in a lot of very talented people (and some pretty stupid investors)
However can we get past the survivor bias and say that "Agile" is a major factor in who prospers and who doesn't? I'm not convinced...and one way or another I've been doing different flavours of agile for many years.
Some observations from the trenches though:
1) Agile by dictat just doesn't work - if Agile is your new CTO's new buzz then it will not help you
2) Agile requires measurement and adjusting the process if that measurement indicates it.
3) Agile needs a fanatical devotion to automation - if you still have slog-work of any kind in your process (filling out paperwork, manually promoting builds, manual testing) that will drag you out of the "Agile zone"
4) Agile requires a big investment in staff retention - you cannot get the benefits of an agile process until your team get a good year of working together and every time someone new comes in or (worse) leaves you start that clock again.

R is a fascinating programming language, one that has recently become an appealing skill to add to your resume. You get an eye-patch and parrot when you're done learning?
