Haven't tried this yet but love seeing that this project even exists. Magit IMNSHO is the absolute gold standard for git UIs (or "porcelains" as they used to be called back in the day). Nothing else even comes close.

> "Eventually we won't even need you and you can go die in a ditch somewhere while we party on our very large boats." You reminded me of an interesting article from 10 years ago, so I went ahead and re-posted it: https:

This may not be what is meant here, but I wonder if in the future anybody who actually bothered to learn to write well will automatically be flagged as likely having used AI to write their prose. For instance, everyone seems to believe that

In the case of George Wallace, he really did change. But like you're pointing out, it's not great if someone has to get shot before they realize they've been a jerk. On the other hand...plenty of alcoholics know they're

> What incentive for a smaller company to hire and invest in training the junior if in two years they'll leave for a larger company anyway. I find these statements so damning and self-incriminating. It's an open admission tha

Nice article, I really enjoyed reading it. I have to give an obligatory shout-out to the Dreyfus Model of learning which I find is often relevant. Keying off that, I caught myself while reading this section: > The expert’s intuition is

I love developing junior people for all the reasons you outlined. It's both rewarding and fun. I know that I'm supposed to show up at work to deliver value or whatever, but that all pales in comparison to seeing a young person lig

Of course Holmes will have a second act. Just look at Adam Neumann. Goof up, wait it out bit, come back. To me it seems very obvious that Holmes is slowly but surely building her charm offensive. Nice articles in the New York Times showin

Sorry, 20 years experience of actually doing things here. I've spent 10 of those years now doing consulting with everyone from 3-person pre-series-A startups all the way up to the Fortune 50. Let me unequivocal: you can spend 30-40 yea

> Progress over the long run only goes in the right direction, there's no path to undoing broad acceptance of homosexuality just like we'll never go back to forbidding interracial marriage or women voting. This is 100% false
