Lead of a small team of scripters here. The “Why. Not What” is defo a good way of encouraging cleaner code.

Had to request changes recently on a PR like this, big function with comments telling me what it was doing. When they resubmitted for review they had broken it down into smaller functions with good variable/function naming. following what was going on was much easier

Even just using a VPN makes google spam me with with captcha after captcha for each search

You can set VSCode to autosave pretty much every keystroke. you should be able to do that for all office apps too IMO

you’d be surprised what slips through review

season three was passable at best. people only say it was good because the first two were so unbelievably dogshit

if its aliased you should be able to just run “fire” and it does the rest

i read a reddit post years ago where a someone wrote a script that iterates through all the projects in their dev folder, for each project creating a new branch, committing and pushing.

they then aliased it to “fire” or “panic” or something like that.

not a bad idea really

I can code a feature faster than i can debug ChatGPTs attempt. so long as it’s in JS

ChatGPT is better at bash than me though

i actually thought i would go take a look at threads. when i tried to log in on my PC it told me i had to download the app on my phone before it would let me log in with the account they already apparently created for me.

so i left and havent been back

Yes it is, and i’m pretty sure that lieutenant in the bottom right of the image is a rather young looking Gemma Chan.

10 years ago they were like 5 guys in a rental house. Completely different situation

I dunno, Linus recognized the fact he is not a good CEO and hired a replacement to fix that problem. If the investigation comes back that there were issues and the perpetrators are purged from the company (or at least severely sanctioned) then I’m willing to give Terran a chance to right the ship

actually not a bad idea. i live in a flat so my car is parked in a car park like 200m away from my property. if my entire town goes up in smoke then i imagine that losing data would be the least of my problems

Yeah it is pretty rough although the files don’t necessarily change all that much so if i can set up a backup somewhere and prepopulate it with my data as it stands now then incrementally keep it update it with nightly jobs then i’m hoping it’ll mostly be done by the morning.

My backup backup plan would be to buy a couple high capacity solid state disks and either take them myself or mail them to my parents once a week. The mailman has pretty high bandwidth, even if the latency is rather rough

Tbh my current plan was to just put the data on a hard drive and post it to my parents once a week/month.

Saving on an SD card definitely seems kind of sketch tho. they are notoriously unreliable

Definitely an option if I’m a bit more selective with what i back up. At the moment for the client backups i’m zipping and encrypting the entire home folder for each client once a week. I could probably write something that looks for file changes and uploads just those
