Every time I work on a project like that I end up having to put myself through more ceremony to keep the atomic changes and commit messages, and I feel "if y'all would just let me rebase-and-merge or β¦(https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2023/11/ufsh4/)
In my experience, multiple concepts invariably end up in a non-trivial PR. When a repository uses squash-and-merge then those concepts end up in the same single commit on main and any context is lost. https://indieweb.social/@lornajane/111425261462048360

When you work on a project with squash-and-merge as a strategy, you end up splitting concepts across multiple pull requests to make coherent git history that could be untangled later if needed. Teams throw away the context because they have poor git commit practices, but they have poor git commit practices because they throw all that context away ...
Activity is not the same thing as progress. You can be extremely busy and do a lot of work but after taking stock, realize you are no closer to your goals and in some cases, you may actually be further away from them.
@mhoye@mastodon.social there was a really good blog post that I can't find now, about how many (most?) feminine-coded hobbies/tasks like sewing, knitting, cooking, lots of housework, etc - are just straight up pure engineering tasks. you don't even have to squint to see it, but society likes to pretend that if it isn't made of concrete or steel, it doesn't count.
I'm pretty sure if a family member had hit my kid with a car causing him to be in a wheelchair & miss a year of school, they'd feel some remorse about it. But because it was done with Covid there's zero societal expectation they'd even think about the impact they had.
Any sufficiently advanced systems thinking is indistinguishable from premature optimization
If taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down. Your mental health is more important. YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT.

- We really appreciate the work you do for the common good. Enough to pay us for it so we can continue to exist? - Donβt be ridiculous, of course not! What do you think we are, communists?

This whole thread is a lot. Expecting better of GH but React inertia is a powerful reality distortion field. https://ruby.social/@camertron/111394216953156643

My request to unsubscribe from your newsletter falsely implies that I subscribed in the first place. What is the point of all the anti-spam legislation and all the regulatory bullshit all over newsletter services when it still seems to be impossible to stop this sort of mass spamming?
If your organization actively discourages you from asking questions, digging deeper, or seeking improvements, do the following in order: 1. Get 2. The 3. Hell 4. Out If you stay too long, the corpo brainworms will make it easier to just do the things that have always been done.

New blog post up: please don't ask if an open source project is dead. The best-case scenario is that you annoy the maintainers and delay development. The worst-case scenario is that you give the maintainers an opportunity to reconsider if it's worth it. https://minimaxir.com/2023/11/open-source-dead-github/

You canβt intimidate someone into kindness, you can't abuse someone into believing in themselves, why would you think you can bomb anyone into peace?
A reminder. Religion and traditions are just peer pressure from dead people who maybe have never even existed.

Unionize all the engineers!
Insanity is trying the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. Programming is doing this because it's the standard way to uncover intermittent bugs.

Hey guys, how is capitalism going? It's going great! Thanks to profit motive based innovation and hard work, the ransomware industry has grown to a $250 Billion(!) industry, with "Ransomware As A Service" (RaaS) now being a very real business service offered by actual companies and resulting in probably multiple times more in costs in down time, and other costs. Where do we get this incredible boost to productivity and efficiency from? It's as if by an invisible hand! https://www.crowdstrike.com/cybersecurity-101/ransomware/ransomware-as-a-service-raas/
Apparently mathematicians think I should use the term "large positive integers" and not "big naturals"

This is probably a good reminder not to practise βοΈ & π development, but it is also a reminder that "smart" formatting often trips up new students.

If you think CSS is some kind of "problem" that needs solving with frameworks, perhaps first consider that maybe the problem is that you don't know how to use it
Happy Diwali to all my Indian homies, and from me to the rest of you. Diwali is the Festival of Lights. It symbolizes the spiritual 'victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.' We could all use some light in these dark times.

Remember kids, there's a pernicious reason why #Google redirects "http://maps.google.com" to "http://google.com/maps". Because of this redirect, the location permission that you grant to Google Maps also automatically becomes available to Google Search - making your search queries more valuable to advertisers. #privacy
