  uuuuuuuu. and you could do -m to describe the commit.

  next they’ll add --push/-P.

  perhaps add -r for fetch/rebase then commit.

  one command to rule them all! 😈

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there something better than SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  sure, ok, but who uses only the subset of standard SQL in a particular engine just to call his queri3s portable? most of the good stuff is unique to each engine and is what makes the engine stand out.

  it’s the same with C standards…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there something better than SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  portable, my ass. excuse my french.

  each system has it’s own dialect and quirks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there something better than SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s just a drag to veer from. it’s not particularly good, but good enough to stick around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there something better than SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  relational databases have years of reseach into them, not the query language itself.

  sql was built so people other than devs can use it, but we got stuck with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there something better than SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you missed the point. OP is asking for an alternative to communicate with a relational DB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A fun simple game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  or with ll alias for ls -laF, I’m using it so often, even if it’s not available, I still type it 5 times a minute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The forbidden topics of hacker communities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s a trend to bloat text lately. recipes, blog posts, LLM output, scrum meeting speeches when working remote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Terminal Emulators Have The Potential Of Being Much Faster⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  a tad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Terminal Emulators Have The Potential Of Being Much Faster⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  do you use arch, btw?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The difference⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  With a screwdriver?! Made me chuckle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ya gotta keep up with the times!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  woosh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which hardware do you use and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  yep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which conditions would make reject or quit your job?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I could choose on all my jobs. I’m doing linux since so long, I don’t even wanna hear of windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which hardware do you use and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  linux on i7-4790k, 32GB DDR3, Z97 Gigabyte mobo, nvme ssd, nvidia gpu and a 27" 2k 144hz display.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people just wake up and choose violence⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They tried⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  well, they can be disablef by the user and the site simply won’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Linux is better for (most) developers!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had quite a few laptops that worked and then along the way, support was dropped so I had to keep an older kernel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
  5. people who don’t care and haven’t even bothered to check out wayland and compare it to x
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hours of work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, but it stops being fun when they say it’s a bug and it’s always supposed to work like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hours of work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  this is ongoing now. Our “creators” were supposed to be “matched” for a “job” based on “skills”, not “skill”. pure chaos

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day in the Life: Senior Dev Edition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  some places are like this. Where I work now seems to be like this. Tech lead starts working on something, breaking things, then he has 100 meetings and either gets distracted or has another emergency and leaves things broken. He doesn’t write tests, pushes images built locally without CI/CD pipelines and lately he keeps messing pubsub subscriptions. Data from other services stops coming through and people ask us why isn’t our service working. ugh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day in the Life: Senior Dev Edition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  this ain’t a criminal court. It’s ok to be helpful to a degree, especially if a bunch of people can’t work because of that issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opinions on how to deal with duplicate code.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer the FP approach where I create smaller functions that I compose together in larger functions or methods wich rarely repeat themselves elsewhere identically. Forcing extractions and merging of such functions often leads to weird code acrobatics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is this "Jenkins" and what now has broken him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, as I said, it’s idiomatic. it replaces the need for a build.sh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It always gets me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  idk my vim uses u U in visual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is this "Jenkins" and what now has broken him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think cargo is the problem. it’s idiomatic and it’s like “build.sh”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meanwhile electron⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All I see is haters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ditching Docker for Local Development⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  yup. it’s a breeze especially for interpreted langs. mount the source code, expose the ports and voila. need a db?

    image: postgres
  

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it just me or GitHub is turning into some sort of LinkedIn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I get where you come from. I don’t code after work much, but if nobody did, there wouldn’t be much OSS. As for that interviewer, he’s a dickhead.
