The utter lack of screenshots doesn't help either. I also read those pages and am also still unsure of what this is.

That's a great question! And fortunately, one where you can use human behavior as a guide: if someone is actively using a checklist it seems reasonable to presume they're at least accessing it once a day. So as a quick first-pass,

You may want to consider a keep-alive strategy based on usage and not an arbitrary static timeout. What if I need my checklist for 7.5 days? A corollary is that this may reduce your overall data usage as a lot of people may create a list

Another perspective which makes it clear this is The Way: it brings the promise of fully self-documenting code much closer to fruition, if not all the way!

The fact that we're even debating it shows that they do. And I didn't ask for "an exact line". I asked for anything. What is your qualification for a "micro" library? I'm betting it's different from 9

Where do you draw the line: is 10 lines "micro"? 50? 100? It is never quantified within, yet the very click-bait-y title relies on the term. How many bugs can hide in 50 lines or 100? And you really want to copy-paste that code at

Sure you can! In fact you can do magic on stacked branches with `rebase --update-refs` that you can't do with merge: https://andrewlock.net/working-with-stacked-branches-in-git-...

Came here to say this. I was genuinely interested in reading this page, but the blue-on-gray promptly gave me a legitimate headache. I cannot understand the person who thinks this is OK.

This is an impressive effort, no doubt. And Python packaging is in a woeful state. But I'm sorry, the last thing the ecosystem needs it another alternative! https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2023/01/15&#x

Yes but they greatly enhance readability and are carriers of information. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Just because you can doesn't mean you should . There are so many cliches that apply here.

A clever idea that I'd love to play around with, but not without a source link so I could feel better about trusting it and host it myself.
