I have always loved Hackathons, they are a great way to see out of the box ideas people build and I enjoy the collaboration. But with AI I will be interested to see how different the results will be. Maybe people will submit multiple projects

Yes it is an early adopter price, but I should highlight that. Thank you

Good question, sorry for not being clear. Software.

Good point, thank you

Why I created ScreenRecording Pro...

As a developer and technical educator, I have always found that a recording can be a powerful tool. Whether for a client walkthrough, creating tutorials on YouTube or bringing documentation and courses to life. However I was finding that I was having to use multiple tools to achieve what I wanted, which wasn't ideal. This led me to create ScreenRecording Pro - an all-in-one solution that runs in your browser and keeps your data local for improved privacy. This way I can record, edit and easily make videos more engaging.

Awesome! Love these previews tools! Super useful.

I am creating a free tool to preview the whole social post.

I love CLI tools, plus it is open source!

Directories are getting more and more popular and people are making money from them. Have you created one or thought about it.

What is stopping you? I wrote a blog on why you should create one with your knowledge and resources.

So many companies try to scam the community, by calling themselves open source but many are not. Great to see you checked and called them out.

We should support and reward the real companies that are actually open source, and who care about the community and transparency!

thanks for the reply Paul and elaborating

"The idea behind the algorithm is to give high-quality content more exposure. But it's not about quality anymore. It's about what gets the most likes and shares. We end up pushing a few types of content that get engagement instead of quality. Most of the time, it's broad inspirational messages because they appeal to everyone."

> they are automatically distributed everywhere where they are needed

for you and your tools, but what about everyone else?

Look at using dotfiles to sync your computer's config to multiple computers, it is a great tool

>> Everyone uses different operating systems, IDEs and dev tools. > How is this related to .gitignore?

Exactly! I explained in the article (and video) people fill the repo git ignore with all their personal tools that generate files, for example .DS_Store, .Idea etc. This should go in their personal global git ignore

>> This list will only keep growing, it will never end > Where's the problem? A random Facebook's repo has its gitignore file weigh 2KB[0]. Is this a problem?

Have a look at some other projects. I explained in the article (and video) the file can be pages long with every possible combination and will only keep growing as new dev tools come out

>> Is the “.gitignore” file competing with the “README.md” for the most updated file in the git repo? I hope not > Again, why is this a bad thing?

As I explained in the article, it becomes a lot of work for the maintainers, to review, check for duplicate entries etc

Great point! Thank you for adding that, yes it works for sub folders also, which makes sense especially for mono repos

I really appreciate you adding value to the conversation, thank you!

> I believe you have interesting enough material

thank you, that means a lot to me! I really appreciate the feedback and support

oh sorry for the confusion! I do think we need both git ignores, but to be used appropriately.

System global .gitignore solves a problem specific to that developer

Repo .gitignore solves a problem for the project (and every developer)

good point, comments are super important

I don't like to rant, I like to have professional discussions.

Than you for reading the article and for sharing the FB link with a git ignore example - the contents of the example file is not long because it doesn't have every dev tool possible, so I think you proved my point - so thank you :)

I don't think you read the article, there is a video at the end if you prefer.

Yes we should use git ignore for the repo specific items, so if the repo has terraform it should ignore generated files - but not desktop tools people use as we all use different dev tools

I think as a solo maintainer on a project and getting many github notifications (and DMs about the notification) for their PRs every day, it had a negative effect on me.

thank you for your detailed replied. The Git hook is an interesting idea, I use Git Husky for git hooks, and checking the mime type could be good to avoid files like screenshots being committed

I will look into this idea. Thanks again

Interesting to hear about your workflow! Someone else mentioned "./.git/info/exclude". It is something I will look in to and ask around to see who else uses it. Thanks for your comment

Sorry you thought it was a trick, I guess I could have extended the title with

"...for your personal files"

Oh interesting 3rd option! Thank you for sharing, I will explore the practically side to this option and feedback. Thank you!
