I'd never thought I'd see Meme-ification of technical docs.... oh god

onnly found out about this because it was an option to view diffs when installing git using Nix
Alot of people in tech/tech-adjacent cant use CLI, need an easier alternative. Also, instead of having a huge .txt/.md recursive directory of curl commands, programs like these bundle up request workflows into 'collections' etc..

exactly, in the court rooms you have scientists on each side of the case. They've all graduated from the same Ivy Leagues, just are getting paid by different teams.

when people slack at their jobs and just let other team members pick it up... it seems so scummy. Someone has to have a 'challenging' upbringing to have this be their default mode of operation.

>> I would love to hear why old ppl don't choose to voluntarily end their life. What good is a life spent in 'poor house for the old' .

The old age is considered prime meditation time in the shaolin monasteries. Even if you live in poor conditions, exploring the realms of your subconcious in meditation is seen as an end goal. See Jhana stages to achieve in meditation.

"Edge computing" has a whole new meaning!

> If you squash on merge, you’re doing it wrong. If you’ve never used git blame, you’re doing it wrong. If your repo’s history is useless, you’re doing it wrong. If you didn’t add a typo fix or white line change as a separate commit, you’re doing it wrong.

I agree Git Blame is useful, but squash on merge is great, and having atomic commits for whiteline changes is overkill.

Looking forward to that fleshed out blog post on git
