Yeah where I work, we strongly encourage interactive rebase on solo feature branches. In fact, even the hairiest long-lived branches can get cherry-picked apart into several "layers" of branches to get reviewed and merged piecemea

It was pretty clear to me before hitting your disclaimer. I suppose right now, three sentences is plenty. I feel that I shouldn't go into detail about the noteworthy features.

Walk through a hypethetical ticketing system migration with your tech lead. Assume all external links are broken, and see how expensive it becomes to answer questions about your own codebase. "why did we add special case X? is it st

My experience is that many changes span several blocks of code in a repo, so there's not always one single location to put the comment. There's also a blessing in that git commits don't need to be maintained like comments.

Won't the usage of escrow trigger a KYC/AML "event" of some sort? That would tie the two parties' identities in a way that a cash evades.

If 500 customers did this, I think the SEC would label this as a "security" and the company would be required to register as a public company, more or less. This is essentially what happened to Facebook which led to them going pu

yes. Edit in case a simple answer is viewed as stifling discourse: I probably write around 20 checks per year. Mostly to local vendors/laborers or for youth fundraising activities. I receive checks for fundraising activities that I h

vanilla vi handles this fine, no? search for tab and it highlights them all, creating a clear visual difference. I'm not sure about pico/nano, hopefully similar.

Still sounds too formal. To me, it reads like the intro to a high school paper. The next four paragraphs would elaborate on each of the points listed.

Sometimes it pays to be the most-prepared among your cohort. In this case, it would have paid so well that your cohort decided to work around it. It always pays to not be the least-prepared among your cohort. You'll get no sympathy

I think you misunderstand me. Somebody halfway through life isn't just sitting around waiting to die. But if there are ADHD indications and no obvious suffering or underperformance, it is clearly a condition that has been lived with.

What was the value that you saw in getting it diagnosed? I'm sure many people live their whole life without having a label for some of the stuff going on in their body/mind. If they're halfway through life and not obviously

The idea that one consents to be governed is reminiscent of the Sovereign Citizen movement. No, you do not need to consent as an individual. Rather, choosing not to vote is an abdication of your responsibility to participate in democracy.

Seems like acting on privileged imformation for personal gain. I think that would be a very risky idea. OTOH advocating for the same role from within the company is probably a way to repair the project without pre-burning your bridges. Y

Yes, of course. Stress and Fear are the cornerstones of responsible leadership. You can say that this is intentional, but it just means he is an asshole.

I perceive an element of hubris when a tool claims a two-character name. That is a very small namespace, so the tool is effectively staking a claim on mental or emotional real-estate.

You implied that the only solution to an unsafe decision was a similarly unsafe decision. My argument is that the real solution would involve some other compromise. If this specific scenario was a work commute, for instance: - move closer

Yes I disabled the WYSIWYG editor the day it landed. The exact syntax of bold/italics is just a flavor... "markdown" as a design pattern vs. "Markdown" as a specific implementation or specification.

My mnemonic is that the parentheses are a following sidenote that can always be skipped by the reader in normal writing. The hyperlink to follow for more information is the parenthetical. Then the brackets are literally bracketing the text

Ehhh there's "Markdown" and there's "markdown". Slack definitely has markdown, and any argument to the contrary is a "No True Scotsman" fallacy. I personally use hyperlink text, bullet lists, tt&#x2

This is not a valid comparison, though. Rather, consider the extrapolation: "drive for 20 hours or let a computer drive for 20 hours?". (edit: the extrapolation is intended to highlight the absurdity of the premise.) The correc

Binning everything that I said as "management" is basically demonstrating my point. This attitude is a self-reinforcing pigeonhole.
