Super annoying as I use this for my job (devrel). Maybe we can complain loudly enough about it? You know they are tracking the data, so I wonder what the big gain is in retiring the public view.

Haha, for what it's worth, I'm the lead for their marketing, and also an eng who took the job because I loved using Render and wanted a change from working in DevOps.

You don't have to believe me...would expect nothing less : D the product and the way we ship what our users want speaks for itself.

+1 to keeping PRs small. This makes it much more logical to me. But I have worked at organizations where this is frowned upon...teams liked the PRs to be one logical unit/fix/improvement and component parts became frustrating or got merged at different times, creating the need for rework.

From reading a lot of feedback on this post one thing that stands out is, the best way to use git just depends on the context. But it doesn't hurt to have commands like this in your toolbox and know how to use the tool well. Plus we all have our private, icky antipatterns that we know we should improve, right?

Right, the point I got from this, particularly from all the examples pulled from pop science, is that folks are focusing on a reduced/mischaracterized biological mechanism instead of on the associated social behaviors. The social behaviors are the things we can (theoretically at least) actually change. Perhaps the author means to express that we should focus on whatever human behavior we think it problematic instead of "blaming" a component of the mechanism.

Eek, I have totally done this at a tech conference. But I try to do my hw first...

You need not look far to observe that "spend less than you make" (to your point, impulse control) is much to know, and that most people don't.
