While its not hard to setup, Github doesn't cover how to do so for private repositories. I put the steps for setting this up on a per repositor basis here: http://fuzzyblog.io/blog/github/2017/11/17

I've hired a lot of engineers and I've seen this a number of times. In my experience once someone gets to the point of interviewing and considering another job, well, they're on the way out. I've done the counter offer

Yes I'll agree with the people who say that this isn't a drop in replacement (fewer features and different syntax) but I also just don't care. fd's defaults are brilliantly simple and just plain make sense. Yes I can u

This is one of the main reasons that I work from home / remote entirely. The worst office configuration I ever saw was a San Francisco open plan environment in a loft style office where all the engineering desks had their back to a fl

TRS-80 Model 1. I still fondly remember soldering in a chip to enable lower case. Yep that's right -- lower case required a hardware mod via a soldering iron.

While I'm not a huge walker, I find that there are definite benefits to learning when to walk away from the keyboard and just plain think out problematic code. As a young developer, its hard to realize sometimes that the best thing yo

Hi, > the safest bet is a mid-high end model. For personal use, buy a used flagship laser printer 2-3 generations old. Can you a specific recommendation? Thanks in advance.

To me the best thinking around in the design of a writing tool is Scrivener. It is the first writing tool that seems to understand that writing, research, note taking a process and the page is the output from that process. My single objec

I don't know how, in 2017, you write something this long about a new programming language and fail to have a single example or even hello world. Sheesh.

I think the best advice I can give is the nike approach: Just Do It. If you want to be good at telling stories then you have to drop your ego and just tell them. I'm a blogger and blogging is the best thing that ever happened to my s

I still churn out 100% of my code and blog entries in TextMate 2. I've been using TextMate since 2006 and nothing else just "feels" as good.

I'm a parent of two boys (16 and 10) and I'd strongly, strongly advice tying it to chores and then using it to teach that performance matters. Do a good job? You get your allowance. Do a bad job? Sorry; no allowance. Saving i

I can't second this strongly enough. Honestly I didn't move to the iPhone 7 solely because of the shift from the traditional button style to the new non press-able button. I don't even want to think about an iPhone without

I am all in favor of side projects but I found a number of disturbing errors: * There are no conferences for either Ruby or Elixir * There are no conferences on bitcoin * There is only one conference for React * You can leave data in the fo

Ignoring the Unicode issues, I installed all of these, switched to the retina version of each in my editor and I found none of them any better than what I had been using (Menlo). I'm certain that YMMV but at least for me, there was no

I can definitely endorse Enpass as a great product. I never used to believe in password managers but the past year has made a believer of me. I had the passcode to our garage door stored as an encrypted note and ended up getting home for

I've done technical books for O'Reilly and John Wiley. As long as you are motivated and can finish on your own, I'd strongly advise self publishing. The money will be far, far better and you'll actually have control ov
