That's why I mentioned Beamer's docs. There is a very good tool-agnostic chapter in them.

If you're a software developer, yes. If you want to have this in an org where there are non-technical people, explaining it to them may be a tad more problematic.

Probably not what you have in mind, but Org-mode can do it (more or less). And if there's a place this is implemented already (or will be soon), I would bet on DrRacket. Still, an interesting idea. I'm more of a text guy than a

Does meeting people face to face and talking about what happened in your lives count as "pirating facebook"? ;-)

Short answer: yes, it's great even if it has its quirks, JavaScript (both Node and browser, sometimes React), I'm the only one on the team, I wrote quite a few small tools to "integrate" (big word, they are mostly very s

What "other browsers"? I know there's Firefox (it's my main browser, in fact), but where is the rest? Edge is Chrome, Safari is only available for iThings, so it's not like there's a big selection...

Fair enough - but how would you improve the UX?

TL;DR: proportions of merged and rejected PRs for several dozen projects on GitHub. It would be much more interesting if the PRs were divided between "internal ones" (open by someone from the core team) and "external ones&quo

Fun fact: in Polish typography, you repeat the hyphen at the beginning of the next line in the latter case (hyphenation when there is a hyphen already).

Also, Git has this weird feature called "workdirs" which may help with that, too.

I have never understood the "squash a branch to one commit before merging" attitude. I prefer small commits, both during code review and later, during looking into repo history (which is needed once in a while) or bisecting. Also

GP talked about "great developer experiences", not adoption. There are lots of reasons inferior tools, standards etc. may be more widely adopted.
