This thread is full of great discussion. Writing clearly can clearly be hard. It takes practice and skill. This is why technology programs in schools require (or should require) technical writing courses. It might not seem important to know

Powershell is often underutilized. It’s absolutely worth being conversant in it if Windows or Azure are part of your environment. And being able to work directly in Powershell from my Mac is just great, versus having to remote into a Window

This is a concise thought expressed clearly. I fully agree that much of the work of being creative happens in silence, or more specifically, in a state of flow, in which all of the creator’s faculties and energies are directed toward the ma

I suspect posting an arguably relevant comment in its original language was a stylistic choice more than a lapse in memory of this site’s preference for English. That said, a more complete post might indeed have included an English translat

I believe it. And moreover, it’s hard to predict what these models will consider signal vs. noise, but it seems as though something that might seem trivial to an internal employee could seem specific and relevant to the model, in which case
