Jenkins was (and still is) a PITA to maintain. Moved two different companies off from it to gh actions (self-managed runners in case of a second company), never had any regrets.

It's great if you can do that -- some people (I, for one) get such heavy nausea from reading in any kind of transport that the only thing I can do is listen to the music and look at the clouds.

OTH people who want to buy strat would prefer to buy "strat with all inherited problems already fixed", be it PRS silver sky, or any boutique brand like LSL / Sandberg / Suhr / Tom Anderson.

+100. I also dig fnox (encrypted-secrets-in-git) and hk (pre-hooks manager that is actually fast and stays out of the way) by the same author, pretty much default for any project I start nowadays. Though I also use nix to manage my machines

It's not like OP asked for any criticism to start with, right? This whole thread is pretty good example of why saying "Fools and children should never see half-finished work" exists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use Ctrl + <number> to switch between different workspaces on Mac, and half of the time I come back to MS web pages or apps (like Teams) the font is either 9000+pt or then -3pt. Outlook takes the cake though, where for whatever reas

So 500 people leave for office and turn off the heating at their homes, even if there are other people (kids, elderly) or animals (cats, dogs, birds) living there?

I mean, I've seen enough "django specialists" to end up with queries doing a dozen of join bombs and producing 10 million rows from dataset of maybe 1000 items. So pretty safe to add "ORM" to your last statement.

Sorry to hear your situation, but that doesn't really sound like it's LLM's (a tool in the end) fault, more that poor ways of working are a norm in company you work at. Not much would change if you replace "LLM" wit

It’s trivial to alter or remove log lines without knowing or realizing that it affects some alerting or monitoring somewhere. That’s why there are dedicated monitoring and alerting systems to start with.

I worked in a company, where webapp bundle was 8 megs (so close to 2 megs compressed). Upon brief investigation turned out that it was lottie library (~2 megs) + 4 animations, all of which were shown only to first time users. Managed to get

Most of the shells have built-in recursive search, why not just use that? `Ctrl + R` in bash / fish / zsh at least.

Being on call is firemen job, and they do have shifts. In most of the companies you have something akin to construction workers that work from 9 to 5 and then also are expected to be available to do casual firefighting from 5 to 9 because i

Because it's not a text organised into sections, paragraphs and whatnot with html, it's just a plain text file rendered into one big paragraph with whitespace set to `pre` ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I use Neovim exclusively for the past 4 years or so. Before that I used WebStorm + sometimes Vim for another 6 years or so. To this day I'm thankful to my colleague and mentor, who introduced me to the basics of Vim (you know, how to q

I used to do that as well. The problem here is that PR belongs to a particular service provider (GitHub, GitLab and whatnot), and thus can be easily lost if you move providers. Or even if you simply move commits to a new repository (for ins

It surely loads faster than speed of light, but with all the keyboard navigation missing, it takes 20x more time to go through each email and archive/delete/reply to. Can't have everything, it seems. :/

Yea, why not just have "double-click" as "add this element to the end of input".

Oh yes, also that! My colleague was rather frustrated with apartment repair crew he had to deal with. Everything was handled via phone calls, none of the construction folk kept any papertrail whatsoever on who agreed to what (obviously), as

They're pretty optimistic about how long this script will be in use: ``` if (l_y < 1900 || l_y > 9999) { l_err = 1 ; l_errstring = "Year is invalid."; } ```

I think we're talking about slightly different things here. Running service that I need to develop right now with a lot of local data (or even read-only connection to production mega-db) is one thing. But needing to run that service wi

Running app locally -- yes, there's nothing wrong with that. Running 25 different apps that compose "the platform" only to be able to develop something -- sounds overkill to me.

Oh yea, and also you get that fuzzy "I clicked random things around, so everything should work, because I run everything locally" feeling. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
