I cannot stand VSCode UX/UI. Not sure how this is not an issue for everyone. Maybe I'm just too picky. For this kind of things I don't use VSCode: - The right side bar is "dynamic". Most of the time it's the Ex

If we are speculating, then this one is my favourite: what if there are other universes out there? With sufficient time civilizations of another universe could move freely between universes. If they can do that, then they probably have tech

You mean female recruiters? For some reason, all the female recruiters I know (on Linkedin) are rather attractive. Maybe there is some logic behind it.

I guess it's because in general it's hard to be on time. If you rely on public transportation (I do) most probably you either arrive early or arrive late. So you ask yourself: do I want to wait for others 20 min. or do I allow mys

I usually don't like the trainings companies provide to engineers to make them grow. The trainings are focused 100% on the tools the company is using (makes sense), but I may not want to learn the hype tools my company is using at the

I usually do `git merge --no-ff development` when working on my feature branch. We do not leave feature branches "open/live" for too much time, so merge conflicts are not usually a problem, but sometimes they do happen. I lik
