I'm with you, but today most sr. attorneys & judges still print out all emails/documents to then redline. the legal field will need another 10-20 years before the foundation is present to even discuss removing Word.

if only lawyers used git, sigh. fighting word is almost like fighting the system itself - some courts require filing in .doc!

Another comment to piggy back off the ruby > python love. RSpec is a million times better than any testing library in python and bundler solved package management issues years ago that python still hasn’t solved. Glad to see I’m not alon

In our adversarial judicial system, you really don't have to disclose that until discovery. A lawyer may want to keep some of those similarities "close to the chest" to see how the other side responds first to some discovery

even if I don't know what I'm talking about in the least, a judge would still have to assume everything in a pleading is true and imo Repl.it would have done enough to get there w/ trade secret allegations had OP not taken th

I agree, imo the biggest change would need to come from governments themselves. This is why I think I get more altruistic "bang-for-my-buck" by donating to Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, the Squad, and other progressive candidates b

Monoliths are even easier to manage in 2021 because of workspace dependency management (e.g. yarn workspaces, cargo workspaces) etc. You can have your cake (microservices built as separate packages) and eat it too (a monorepo workspace w&#x

We found website testing inside a Docker container to be tough, so we still run Cypress on a native machine, but our web process is still ran within the Docker container. In CI, we use the default Cypress GitHub action which runs on the CI

Mandatory "Squash and Merge" solves a lot of the author's reasons why adding code comments is necessary b/c it guarantees that each commit in the repository's main branch has a PR associated with it. For instance on
