About pmarreck
Physical location: NYC environs
I decided to switch to this more public account from my old alias here, which as of today (2/3/2016) is 2000 days old with 1369 karma.
I am @pmarreck on X/Twitter, https://www.linkedin.com/in/petermarreck/ on linkedin, github.com/pmarreck, peter@marreck.com, you can pattern-match the rest... my first and last names are basically a natural primary key, unfortunately

It says nothing about customer happiness or that if dishonesty is resorted to and customers OR owners find out, that will essentially seal the fate of the business.

I have a lot of things that are built around git already- such as my very commandline, which shouts in bright red if we are on DETACHED HEAD. I know WHY detached heads happen when …

I was probably there when they invented that term, LOL (I first heard it in the Ruby startup space years ago, I think). I still think it's meaningful, along with "design smell". Wh…

I've sadly had to back out of using jj after leaning into LLM coding assistance, as, even with an extremely well-written jj guide in its context (and literally blocking the use of …
