Technically the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is from OSS--the CIA's predecessor. The Manual is one of my favorite pieces of historical literature, but I think that people become too cynical about large organizations after they read t

Commit messages often aren't nontechnical enough to make for an accessible changelog. I would like to encourage developers to maintain changelog for their projects, but to host the changelogs outside of the project's Git repositor

I think it is a little harsh to set the tuition refund bar to be so high. On the other hand, if I had a friend who was rejected from 459 jobs, I would still advise them to keep applying. What else could I say? The more worrying part of the
