There seems to be a lot of variance between stated and revealed preferences around self-hosting. It often seems like presenting the image of being autonomous to our peers seems more important than actually achieving it. It takes a lot of en

You can't force someone to improve themselves. AI-fueled ego trips are really difficult to sublimate. The only viable solution in this case is to overwhelm the pupil with mastery. Demonstrate that even without AI assistance that you

I've done something like this to understand how a unity project would interact with git + LFS as a novice to the ecosystem. I'd incrementally add files until the project would load successfully after a fresh clone. Handling of sub

I've seen "clean" codebases that conform to "best practices" which are even less decipherable than what you describe. 100KLoC sounds like paradise compared to the latest codebase I touched. Having the signal to nois

I think there are many cases where it was the tech workers themselves who argued for isolation from the customer so that they may focus harder on whatever tasks. I used to be one of these workers. I argued very hard for it. I regret that to

It's not that complicated. Default to system, use two states, and integrate the toggle in a top level UI context as a single icon that flips between sun/moon. Putting it deep in a menu is what creates all this pretentious hedging

Software is the factory. The utility is built right in. You can create lossless copies of the product nearly instantly and for free. It's a logistical miracle.

Starting a motor is much noisier than idling a motor. It's "idle start/stop". not "idle stop". At some point the light will turn green.

Idle stop == cam death rattle. The externalized consequences of drivetrains failing faster (or being abandoned because they give the perception they might) easily offsets whatever gains are achieved with this nanny tech. Auto start/sto
