Very interest, never had thought about the possibility to skip CI on trivial changes, which makes total sense! Clever.
We joked about when this day would come… I hope we (tech community) figure it out because Copilot really is a game-changer.

“ 9. Don't over engineer (YAGNI)” - Argh, this one could have saved me so much time in the past…
Re:How Wine Works 101 on Tuesday October 11, 2022 @06:30AM (#33161588)
Honestly, I wouldn’t think all these years later I’d be reading up how Wine works. I’m more surprised about how interesting I found it.
Re:Interactive page breaking down Vue 3 Reactivity on Tuesday September 20, 2022 @06:10AM (#32909845)
It's cool to see some of the "new" features of Vue 3's Reactivity API in action. The Vue docs are great, but interactively playing with how this behaves is a neat idea.
Re:An Off Grid Wikipedia with Raspberry Pi on Tuesday September 20, 2022 @06:07AM (#32909822)
This is a pretty cool idea. The doomsday prepper in me has been thinking about this in a while. But I actually thought about a simple Pi with a Wi-Fi access point serving local Wikipedia wirelessly to mobile devices.

Because, you know, when the doomsday comes everybody will have a charged up mobile phone on them…

Re:From Readme to Docusaurus: How an Intern Saved Us $1.2k on Friday September 16, 2022 @11:41AM (#32867639)
You can't beat open-source. SaaS offerings usually try to generalize a service to serve the largest amount of people, when in fact what you want is solution to what your doing, not to what most people are doing.

When you're using open-source software it's very probable that you'll find people with the same problem you have, and in most of cases there will be a solution waiting for you already. Not to mention the cost savings too.

Come on people, we need this!!
Re:Show HN: A framework for building Slack bots in Python on Friday September 16, 2022 @11:38AM (#32867583)
Pretty interesting. I’ll have a look.
Oh, I’ve been there! Actually, I’m still here. I found this (very old) Stack Exchange thread with some suggestions. I actually tried Stay but it didn’t work for me.

I’m happy to see developers pushing the branching status quo forward. Honestly, most of the companies have pretty messed up branching, and we have the tech and intelligence to do way better. Methodologies, like Lean Branching for instance!

Keep it going!

Re:What Are the Greenest Programming Languages? on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @04:45AM (#30425880)
Very interesting, and definitely unusual, analysis of programming languages. I never had thought of programming languages in an ecological way, but after reading the post it makes total sense. Hopefully newer and more efficient languages will come up also bringing efficiency in the functional side (like electric cars, for instance).
Awesome, thanks for the share. Figma rules!
Re:Turborepo on Thursday February 17, 2022 @04:30AM (#30371192)
Awesome, looks pretty good. It’s rare to such a complete new solution in the build system area. Do you know what are the key points that make Turborepo standout?
Re:I cut the bite of the Apple logo out of my iPhone on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @09:21AM (#30360273)
I was totally not expecting that. Honestly I thought they had filled the bit of the apple so it’s a normal apple, but this is much better!
Re:1Password for SSH and Git (Beta) on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @09:20AM (#30360248)
This is super neat!!!
Re:City Generator on Tuesday February 15, 2022 @05:16AM (#30344713)
This tool is super impressive. Medieval book editors will go crazy with it!!
Damn, it’s the first time I bump into this article. Thanks for the share!
Re:What’s the Appeal of Deep Voices in Men? on Monday February 14, 2022 @06:23AM (#30330721)
I’ve been listening to the “Dropout” podcast on Elizabeth Holmes and it’s quite interesting that she’d lower her voice purposely to make it feel more manly
I mean, I’m not sure every programmer should know about this 114 page paper.
Re:Show HN: Have you ever wanted to reserve a retweet? on Monday February 14, 2022 @05:56AM (#30330553)
Do you mean “schedule”?
Interesting. I’ve got to say, a bit cold, but I agree that is definitely better than no reach outs at all.
Dead simple ticket management (sprints and so on) linked to GH issues and PRs.
Re:Git in one image on Saturday February 12, 2022 @06:30AM (#30311965)
Wow, good job!
Wow, that’s way more interesting than what it deserves to be
Hands down a solution equivalent to Jira. I see so many devops hacking on top of Jira, it would be so much helpful if there was an open source, totally customizable, solution to manage tickets (as complete as Jira).
Re:Apollo – Reliable configuration management system on Friday February 11, 2022 @04:31AM (#30299245)
Amazing tool to manage complex infrastructures. It would be amazing if all the settings would be stored as code so they could be version controlled. With the rise of complex infrastructure comes the need to validate changes to the configuration, and ways to inspect and roll them back, in line with the new age of GitOps.
