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 t

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.

Someone already mentioned the official docs. They’re good. I also enjoyed https://jvns.ca/blog/2017/04/23/the-fish-shell-is-awesome/ which is a nice read though not a tutorial.

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 indica

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 b

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

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

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

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 peop

I’ve tried this with my dad. The problem is, he never boots up the bum to have a go. He doesn’t really get how there can be more than one OS on his physical machine. So basically we are stuck in a cycle of him not wanting to switch until he

The amount of time to develop a feature makes no difference if the client didn’t want to pay for the time it would take to develop it.

I switched from .NET to rails. agree with the other comments about rails tutorial. It is excellent but don’t forget the rails guides (guides.rubyonrails.org). If you already understand MVC (for example if you’ve worked with .NET’s MVC offer

There’s also something to be said, from a recruitment point of view, to having everyone’s site look the same. It eliminates one bit of unconscious bias. In a way, it can help anonymise each person, which can make for a different (perhaps fa

I think they tend to be anomalies. Mostly ICs don’t have as much power/authority/autonomy as people in managerial positions.

My child learned to read using phonics. We didn’t use this book though. At some point she asked us what the squiggly black “pictures” in her book were. Once she figured out that we weren’t just making up the stories and that they were there

This is nice. In the UK some supermarkets have a food bank you can donate to as you leave. I usually donate food to those. This is a bit more personal. Although I’m lucky enough to live in a neighbourhood where it doesn’t seem like people a
