You make great points and I'll edit now to make it more clear that the goal of the ground rules is to be communicating, and the goal of the writeup is to show a bunch of examples gathered from many teams in many industries. Can you ref

Yes and I'll detail that in the repo now, and emphasize that these are examples gathered from many teams. Can you try reloading the repo page and see if it makes better sense now? Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! If you have ideas, I'd like to hear. To keep ground rules at front of mind, each teammate is responsible and self-directed. * I have a teammate who likes to write the core rules on the whiteboard before each meeting, and poi

Great article IMHO especially suitable for new teams, new managers, and top down understanding. Kudos! For people who are stepping into existing teams, I suggest writing ground rules. Ground rules are clear explanations of team expectations

IMHO it's wise to distribute repos to GitLab and also to other hosting solutions beyond just GitHub. One reason is because acquisitions can sometimes be tumultuous, such as because of employee changes, security changes, alerting change

Thank you! Yes in my experience of awk/gawk on Windows, things work the same, other than file separators, line endings, and similar platform-specific issues. For your second question, awk simply works. It's reliable, fast, and eve

Yes in the `setop` current implementation, because this enables the script to be fast, short, and work with inputs without needing to call `sort`. For comparison, a typical POSIX `uniq` implementation reads the input and solely compares two

I like shell set operations scripts, because they are quick and easy. I prefer `awk` over `uniq` and `comm` because awk tends to be faster at set ops that can skip sorting and deduplicating. Here's my script for union, intersection, et

The selfish–selfless spectrum is valuable for technical leaders to improve teamwork, in my experience. We call this social value orientation (SVO) which involves an individual’s natural preference with respect to the allocation of resources

Awk is great for quick command line scripts and also for running on a very wide range of systems. I recently wrote a simple statistics tool using Awk to calculate median, variance, deviation, etc. and people say the code is readable and goo

I agree with you. My opinion is that type checking helps, and so do assertions, borrow checkers, pen testers, etc. The tradeoff IMHO is that these take some time and thought to do well. Would you be willing to send me an example of your bes

The article's example boils down to this pseudocode: function foo(s, i) { s * i } s = "hello" i = 2 foo(i, s) // BUG. The runtime crashes. The article advocates adding a type system to detect th
