Isn't it our responsibility to own our dependencies? I get this is frustrating, but if your client deliverables hinge on your $200 subscription to meet, you need to figure out some…

As a dev, if you use a private method, you've just taken ownership of the problem. I suggested to you in our contract not to do it, and that it would likely not be supported, and y…

I'm editing this to be nicer. I'm really trying to be nicer. Consider the possibility you're not the only one in the codebase and that the git history might provide the why to the …

Ugh, ok. I just want an editor.

It makes me wonder if they're intended to be rack mounted on their sides with half a dozen others.

People act like managing lots of git repos is hard, then run into monorepo problems requiring them to fix esoteric bugs in C that have been in git for a decade, all while still arg…

This article is the what, but it is missing the why. I'm supremely biased against scrum, so basically ignore what I am saying if you're a fan of it. Fundamentally, Kanban is pull-b…

The clustering is what makes it feel so different, and what makes it such a compelling runtime for certain types of problems. It's not an accident that large distributed chat progr…

This checks out.
