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 ...

@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.

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/

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/

Attached: 1 image Smart Quotes and Coding Examples Every so often, I copy and paste some code from a website and it utterly fails. This is probably a good reminder not to practise βœ‚οΈ & πŸ“‹ development, but it is also a reminder that "smart" formatting often trips up new students. Here are a few examples I've seen recently - produced as a result of computers trying to be cleverer than humans, and huma https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/11/smart-quotes-and-coding-examples/ #/etc/ #code #education #NaBloPoMo

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.
