I really wish people would tell me what the dependencies are and NOT just ram everything into a container image so I have to reverse engineer what's required to just run the damn t…

I do this as well, but there is a workflow problem to solve and that is: getting PRs merged when they need to be to continue working. It's not a simple problem to solve, we can't a…

The question is, why are you not just merging them into main as you go? It's a bit of a smell when you "need" to merge branches into branches. It shows a lack of safety and ease in…

I mean, unless you work at an organisation that deals with a specific religion, I would say that they're all NSFW, as there's no reason to be using them at work, and they're bound …

It really depends on the decision, what was done, and the overall impact. If the decision is to migrate to microservices, a year in it may be reviewed and decided that the work has…

As another data point, I run a k8s cluster on Hetzner (mainly for my own experience, as I'd rather learn on my pet projects vs production), and haven't had any Hetzner related issu…

You don't need AI if that's all you're using it for. In fact, IDEs have been doing a fine job at that for years. It feels right now, that much of the time, AI is a solution looking…

Or one or two devs in the F100 customers made an account using their work email so they could chuck some OSS prototype code somewhere, or test something out.

You should report sites that do that. We still enforce the GDPR, and it's illegal to force acceptance of cookies (excepting functional cookies) for any reason, including offering t…

The kinds of messages that get sent via email or text are usually pretty unimportant. Important things tend to be sent via letter or a phone call. It's not likely to be anything cr…

The EU isn't even a continent. It's a trade/political block, making up a part of a continent. And the part of the EU pushing back is generally just the European Parliament, not the…

Some segregation is useful. If a key I use for work never touches my personal machine, that's a good thing. If my work laptop gets stolen I don't want to have to cycle my personal …

And if you work at a place as an employee that has made a situation where you ARN'T disposable, you should either try and change that or leave. If there's a single point of failure…

> Also, bored people are typically boring people. This is such a bad sentiment. Being bored is fine and a normal part of existance, it doesn't make a person boring. There are LOTS …

For those of us who don't use windows regularly enough to remember the tool names, this is wonderful to know about.

It's also a rare problem, so not really a reason to screw over biodiversity in general. We don't ban restaurants just because sometimes someone gets food poisoning. We just take ac…

I recently moved into a new home with a lawn that seems to have been semi-recently laid. I want to add some daisy's as I think they're pretty in a lawn. I didn't think of clover th…

And shirt + jumper combination outfits, where the "shirt" is just the collar stitched in. Drives me nuts when you see a nice jumper that comes with a "shirt" only to realise you'd …

Coding speed really is a horrible metric. I can code really quickly, but it doesn't mean I'm doing anything productive or correct. I'd rather slower coding speed, properly written …

I've been the person working stupidly long hours for many years. Eventually I stopped doing it, and I started to set boundaries around my downtime, and I found out something really…

...to age restricted consumers, and in many European countries, with health warnings about over-consumption of alcohol

I didn't know I could use it on MacOS. I recently started a new job where they have nothing but Mac, so I've been looking for a text editor that can do what Kate does. Everything s…

I often see people making what could be very simple terraform setups into incompehensible monolithic monsters as well. I tend to preach separating things out and keeping things sma…

> Say it with me: Elevate Permissions I always tell my team that we should be able to build and deploy from our laptops. That we should make sure we don't bake our build/deployment…
