I’m in a „merge conflicts are a waste” camp. I don’t need multiple parallel versions of software (unless it’s a library following semver). I need to hear a single good reason for not applying changes incrementally to main branch multiple ti

You have a short-lived local branch tracking remote main branch, not a feature branch. It works if you `pull --rebase` and never force-push (which is trivial to enforce in the origin repo). That DOES require working in very small increments

I have a friend that says "I'm not doing branches". He actually does branches, but they never live longer than say 2 hours. Maybe that's a confusing wording, but for people used to weeks or months-long feature branches,

Git does not solve the issue of accidental complexity introduced by branching. Since we are exchanging arbitrary statements: If you need branches outside the realm of libraries with multiple supported versions, you're doing something v

Lower work in progress generally results in faster & more predictable delivery. PR's are an inventory of "almost finished goods". "Stacking" PR's essentially means delaying integration and increasing WIP.

I always wonder how insanely complex, universal, abstract-thinking AND physically strong & agile biorobots, running on basically sugar and atp would be seen as „worthless” by a runaway higher intelligence. Did I mention they self-replic

That is true, 250W-rated electric engine can supposedly make 1kW for some time without damage. But if I understand correctly, EU law prohibits the "power driver" to deliver more than 250W.

Not at that time of the year, we won't. There are reserves still. If we don't stop this madness now, we may freeze in 1-5 years running away from war moving through Latvia, Estonia, Poland etc. But Germany thinks it will save its

250W pedal-assist only is all you can (legally) get as a bicycle in Europe. I have only one friend that can sustain 250W for hours (on a road bike), and he's a serious everyday "bicycle is the default vehicle" type. 250W is p

I would not be surprised, but it easily becomes a trap once you grow. With CRUDs / "Smart UI's" I'd always sign a contract in blood / note in ADR that we choose this to prototype quickly, but we'll stop an

Yes, there is some limited evidence both against and in favor of this theory. Regardless, I found it helpful to see my neurodivergence not as a medical condition or "weirdness". I have trouble living "normal" life, but a

Some psychiatrists consider it a trait and not a disorder. It should only be "treated" if it affects one's life negatively (which it often does in the modern world, unless you are guerilla herding sheep / living a genera

Yes, made fun of. Philosophy of Laravel crowd seems to be similar to "the rails way", which means a lot of framework-specific solutions, disregard for TDD etc. Well, static service locators disguised as "facades" are a b

Which by the way is heavily mocked by PHP developers actually using OOP, dependency inversion, hexagonal architecture etc. Which is not the "artisanal" way of development it seems :)

I think that Eli Goldratt would not agree with you; number of connections does not determine the complexity of the system, it can be less complicated than system with smaller amount of connections. I believe these suppliers are pretty speci

We hit the 400Mhz problem as well, on corporate high-end 14" Dells. Disabling thermald did not help much, as the laptop almost melted. But we discovered a "magic" spell involving rmmod/modprobe. It sparked a kind of a cu

Feature branches introduce more complexity than real value (bold statement, right)? I really enjoy Dave Farley's videos on youtube - "Continuous Delivery" channel. A friend recently sent me this piece from Atlassian: https:&

I find post-coding, pre-merge code reviews ineffective, for a change. The code was already written. Time/money spent. Finding out that solution is subpar at this stage is costly, and delaying integration makes ineffective teams. If you

People seem to vastly underestimate the (accidental) complexity introduced by branching and delaying integration, and overestimate the risk of integrating and releasing the changes, which is literally the essence of professional software de

Love your comment. People seem to have forgotten what "Continuous Integration" stands for. I am amazed to see so much "mandatory CR is good" comments on HN. Well yes, it's fine for open source projects or immature t

I love pasting that quote :) "The idea that developers should work in small batches off master or trunk rather than on long-lived feature branches *is still one of the most controversial ideas in the Agile canon*, despite the fact *it

For small, integrated teams, github flow may be suboptimal. Frequent merging to master, aka trunk-based development, aka Continuous Integration is the way to go for me.

I am yet to see a single framework-agnostic project using Laravel, that's the main problem for me. It's like Ruby on Rails, you're either Ruby developer or "Rails developer". Same dichotomy for PHP/"Larave

My rule of thumb is to "mostly never" subclass anything from the framework. No point in wiring all the components manually, I use the base framework installation, but organize all the namespaces to my liking (mostly modules divide
