  • I’m not hating on this feature, but it’s frustrating to me because individual commits could already solve this. This is .ore a complaint of people’s commiting style than anything. But so many places just squash to merge, so why bother making them pretty? Either way though, it can still be useful to say a specific range of commits is something to view as a chunk.





  • I know Rick and Morty gets a lot of flak for being cringe, but the episode where Rick’s essentially car battery dies is hilarious. He has an entire universe inside of his ship’s battery and inside of it there are little devices that he gave them to use to generate power that he extracts. They stopped using them. He goes inside to diagnose, only to find that a genius inside of his world made a device that works entirely the same as his own. But it stops working. So the pair and their company go inside that battery universe to trouble shoot, only to find it happened there too!

    Why should we worry about keeping time when we can just outsource the problem?













  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about the book “automate the boring stuff with Python.” It focuses on practical examples more than the theory. It’s also available for free since it is licensed under Creative Commons. That said, I haven’t personally checked it out. Just mentioning it as something that focuses on goals and works towards accomplishing them, which sounds like what you’re looking for.



  • I had a very annoying interaction with this once. I won’t make the company because I’m willing to chalk it up to a one off and I don’t want the message to be “Amazon good” lol. They were able to ship something faster than Amazon, but it never arrived. I reached out about it and theor excuse was basically that they forgot. It sounded like it was a case of someone was supposed to physically move something and it got missed somehow. They gave me a refund for the shipping cost in the end, which was nice, because I told them the entire reason I used them was that they could get it there faster than Amazon but they didn’t.

    Amazon is so big. It’s just become this system that we interact with that’s difficult to avoid. It’s frustrating because while that little mishap with a smaller retailer was annoying to me (a gift showed up late for a gift exchange), if it means that the workers don’t need to fucking piss in bottles then it’s worth it.
