Nothing stopping you using a private repo. I use Netlify to host and have it automatically deploy when I merge to main, but my repo is private. I write my drafts in a branch and merge when I'm ready to publish.

I've hit this exact same problem loading YAML in Ruby. Luckily caught it before it hit prod, but still, it made me go argh for a while.

Bugs make it to production no matter how careful you are.

What matters is how you deal with incidents as an organisation, not that you should never release a bug.

Not Tmux, but one of my favourite things about iTerm2 is the search/copy functionality from the keyboard. I often find myself reaching for it, for example

git log - see a commitish I want to fixup cmd-f type first few letters hit tab to get to the end of the commitish cmd-c esc cmd-v to paste it

The other great thing is when you have cmd-f going and there are multiple hits in your terminal, hitting enter cycles you through them backwards.

I only let my password manager fill in passwords. It’s less efficient for sure but my cc details are in muscle memory and filling out my name and address doesn’t really bother me too much.

Pascal was the first language I learned. I don’t remember my ch of it but I always liked := for variable assignment

I think the hype works though. I don’t have a clubhouse account and I can sort of imagine the plethora of hustlers and the time I would waste if I did have an account. But like the early invite only days of gmail, it’s still a social indicator if you’re “in”

I think they might. And we might be in a hacker news bubble with our wish to stay remote.

Overwhelmingly the developers in my organisation are happy to work remote forever. Deliver people, product people, design people all seem to want to be back in the office. Upper management as well.

The company still holds the power though. Your current contract is unlikely stipulate that you can work full time remote. I suspect that until there are enough options in the hiring market for employees to “vote with their feet”, employers will want to return to bums on seats.

How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog...

The question is, do any of us actually need the flagship devices? The android phones I’ve bought for family members on the budget end of the spectrum seem to last just as long as the flagships and have decent enough feature sets for pretty much everything from what I can see. Granted none of us play a lot of games and we are more of the holiday snaps than artists when it comes to photos.

Maybe people lint their docs or README with something like vale.

Many people find working in a busy office overstimulating And filled with far too much activity and noise and it fills them with anxiety.

In an ideal world, workplaces would strike a balance and allow each person the environment to deliver their best work.

One reason I can think of is, certainly early in the Ruby/rails days it was quite difficult to support/install ruby on Windows. Python was much easier to install and get going with so it maybe got a foothold just because more people had access to it.
