Yes force-with-lease is good - but beware https://www.jvt.me/posts/2018/09/18/safely-force-git-push/#caveats - it can lull you into a false sense of security without specifying the ref!

When I was little (in the 90s) and the radio was my only source of music, I used to get really annoyed when they played music I didn't like at the time. One of them was Alanis Morissette because it was always on. Anyway... I was a fool. It's so embarrassing to admit that I am only now appreciating her songs. On the other hand, if I had known about "You Oughta Know" many years ago when I had a heartbreak, I probably would have embarrassed myself on social media at the time. 😂

One of the things that’s always struck me as broken in big tech companies is how often there are products that millions of people use that deserve continued improvements that no one cares about while there are so many hot new projects with no meaningful shot at as much impact with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people working on them. By the way Microsoft is pulling Wordpad from Windows because no one is working on it. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-is-killing-wordpad-in-windows-after-28-years/

Every so often my brain reminds me of a conversation from long ago. Sometimes I’ll go for months without thinking about it, but then it’ll trigger, and I can’t stop thinking about it. It happened this week. Many years ago I taught technical courses for SAP in their London training centre. There’d often be moments during the day when the students were busy doing exercises and off-topic conversations would start. Here’s how one went down.
