Vince Lombardi's famous quote "Winning is a habit" comes to mind. I think what makes successful people successful is this attitude that no matter what they do, regardless of it's significance, they give it all they have. They want to win (u

Just curious if you tried using LSM (Latent Semantic Matching) on the titles and/or their contents to determine what you like and don't like. It might take some time to train the data to "your liking" but might return some decent results. I

I think the main problem is that we are in general unaware of what others do not know. I think we all extrapolate that if we know something, others must also. I'm not sure if that is a great self-centered reflective view we all take or simp

Yep. I think the body knows best and it's best not to interrupt your REM cycles with a blaring alarm clock. Of course, that can be tough to do if you have meetings to get to in the morning, but if you have a flexible schedule, I highly reco

I don't think Git was designed to perform well with such a large repo. In this case, the best-practice is probably compartmentalizing the code and using Git submodules. The Git submodule interface is a little un-friendly, but I think it doe

Just as "the best writing is re-writing", the best coding is re-coding or re-factoring. I find that to get things in a workable and maintainable state, I need to write something about 3 times. The first pass is usually a hack that fixes the

Agreed! Treating submodules as their own git repositories is a neat and powerful idea, but the UI really does breakdown. Especially when adding a trailing "/" to the submodule name like: 'git add submodule_name/' will assume you are deletin
