You’re going to be in for some culture shock when you leave GitLab. GitLab was like a cult and few companies know how to do remote as well. Good luck!

The term "deep state" has become sullied in recent years. What are your thoughts on Eisenhower's speech about the Military Industrial Complex? Whether by conspiracy or out in the open, there are a number of actors inside larg

The term “macroeconomic” is becoming a meme with how companies are throwing it around.

Don’t forget about $GIT_DIR/info/exclude. Gitignore can get bloated with dev specific files, rather than project specific files.

I don’t understand why more companies don’t just go all in on Slack as the interface to their knowledge base. There’s tons of integrations to enable it. Every place I’ve worked at with Slack has the standard 90 day retention policy in place

Funny, didn’t GitHub start the trend of using system fonts on their site? That was such a refreshing change.

But what I liked about git readmes was that they were static and easy to reason about.

Reminds me of Workflowy. I love the concept of structured notes, but I think the colors are distracting. Also not accessible to color blind people.

This reminds me: I’m really looking forward to SQLite blob I/O being added to the Golang library. There is an open PR to add it. It will enable a lot of interesting use cases revolving around streaming of blobs rather than storing them

There’s already a GitHub alternative from Europe: GitLab. The founders are Dutch and Ukrainian.

GitLab is great at remote first culture. Check out their open source company handbook. Remote first requires proactive process to keep employees engaged and communicating effectively. If you feel isolated and trapped in a silo, good process

I recently stopped wearing my Apple Watch and started wearing my G-Shock. I’ve noticed I live more in the present without constant notifications. I stopped trying to fill rings and started listening to my body. The Apple Watch is cool, but

I remember the first time I used Zoom years ago. I was interviewing with a company and they asked me to join a Zoom call. When I went to the website to install it, it seemed like a poorly branded product and I had this concern I was install

That’s not what woke culture is. Here’s an example in California: the state has formed a commission to investigate paying reparations to slave descendants. Why? Because of BLM in 2020. Knee jerk Twitter politics running the state. Edit: som

Yup, degradation is the silent killer. It may work this time, but maybe a few months or years down the road it will suddenly fail.
