    Since my original post is now flagged and hidden, what I said is no longer visible and I cannot let these misinterpretations stand unaddressed. I said that not everything that appe…

    I'd maintain that awareness, training, and tooling are essential for achieving constructive outcomes here. Without knowing that one has dark personality traits, and thereby a parti…

    The older I get, the more I realize how many problems in the world are caused by the dark personality spectrum. Most men, police officers, priests, white people, catholics, politic…

    Please note that the article merely encourages the application of some of the best practices introduced by functional programming - strong typing and more mindfulness around mutabi…

    Agreed, sorry for the paywall. Is there a better place to post such stories than Medium?

    I also don't expect that a lot of the existing Java code will be rewritten in Go. But there exists a whole array of startups/unicorns today who use Go extensively. Many of them wil…

    In addition to the right culture, great platforms enable great ecosystems. I have found that putting everything as Markdown on a collaboration platform like Github/GitLab works rea…

    Git Town started out as Git aliases written in Bash. Version 3 was many hundred lines of Bash, pushing it beyond what Bash was designed for. At some point it got ridiculous, and we…

    It shows the Git commands it runs, as well as their output. So, you know exactly what Git is doing.

    Git Town covers a ton of edge cases. Just look at their "features" folder. If something goes wrong, Git Town allows to cleanly abort and undo what it did so far and go back to wher…

    Git Town contributor here. Thanks! I love your aliases. That's exactly how Git Town started. Then people kept adding logic to cover edge cases, abort and undo operations, as well a…

    Git Town doesn't replace Git, nor does it try to shield you from learning how Git works. It shows the Git commands it runs for you, as well as their output. When using it, one shou…

    There is a way to support both styles at the same time, and most libraries (that I'm aware of) use it. If a callback is given, call it with the result. If not, return a promise for…
