> I think the difference is in whether we can accept (or tolerate) externally-imposed structure, especially when we disagree with it. If not, the best coping mechanism is to build your own from the inside. Yes. You're being more pre

Ah. Great input and an approach I really haven't considered! I think this could be great advice for people who struggle with various degrees of decision fatigue. Personally I tend to be quite impulsive and somewhat random "by desi

Yes. And that's also the risk I run with including such anecdotal "evidence" from my own process, because it definitely won't click with everybody. I've witnessed people close to me be highly successful with the &qu

Thank you for this nuanced view. I honestly didn't want the post to center around the organizational bit, it was a late addition, because there's the caveat that it gets interpreted as "this is how you gain productivity"

I completely see your point, and my boring response is "it depends". How heavily I rely on my personal organizational setup depends a lot on context. For instance, at $WORK I need time-tracking and tracability of tasks due to audi

OP here. This is one of the exact things that, in my mind, makes programming hard. It probably wasn't covered in the post, but striking the right balance between "bug free" and "pragmatism" towards accepting lack of

Author here. Thank you for this and from what I can tell you're nailing my frame of mind and where I was coming from with this. Writing valid computer programs - from "Hello, World!" and the likes - is safe to say "easy&

Yes! Right on the money! Thanks for coming back to state that it makes sense to you now.

Yes. This one was hard for me to explain. I've discussed it with others too and might try to rephrase it again in the post. As far as I know, there's no other git command that let's you (as easily) change which commit a local

Ah, what a stellar use case. It's been forever since I looked into git notes (or was it annotations? can't check right now). But I guess those had significant flaws. Empty commits that you can use the message as a todo-list and fi

Don't get me wrong, I'd say that's a very good approach too. A lot of my personal repos are private and synced through personal infrastructure so I don't always bother with those kind of files.

Thank you for this elaborate explanation and very valid use-case. I did find out that octopus merges have been used quite extensively in e.g. the Linux history as I was trawling the archives for one of the anecdotal remarks I made. I eventu

Ohai! What a pleasure to both hear from you and that you enjoyed the read. I hope you're doing well yourself.

I shared your concern with letting Nix manage all configs because it felt wrong to me to have an abstraction layer over all kinds of configs. I've later realized that's got a big benefit of being able to use values across various

Love this! I should add that my Nix endeavors begun way back when I started doing Haskell because of the binary caching for Haskell libs. Nix has then gradually taken over pretty much everything I do related to software. So the OS switch wa
