  There are automations. You can even add git hooks iirc. Mostly I find the lint and other code quality integrations nice to have in the IDE, since the inline results allow me to navigate directly to the code

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Merge then review⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nitpicking can be automated by a linter, then reviews can actually sit back and review more important things like high-level design and scalability

  as if peer reviews could actually spot bugs that tests can’t catch

  There can’t be bugs if there are no tests to catch them! Ofc you can also automate test coverage standards. But PRs are sometimes the only way to catch bugs, even and especially with senior devs in my experience bc they are lazy and will skip writing tests, or write useless or bare minimum tests just to check off code standards and merge on ahead

  Earth and the Federation was communism. Admittedly an idealist version of it, came about because it was voted in by enlightened voters. But even then the Bell Riots showed that it was capitalism that caused conditions to arise in which the oppressed rose up against the failures of capitalism, and finally end it.

  Not sure if you specifically meant something about Mao, but at least be aware of this. It’s the most basic theory of communism that capitalism fails, turns into barbarism, and the working class have no option but to revolt to resolve the crisis.

  I think of it in terms of levels building on top of each other, or circles enveloping each other; also how I evaluate interviewees and new hires:

  1. Finishes the task, but needs handholding
  2. Finishes the task, figuring it out from docs, guides, and internet
  3. Finishes the task, proactively trying to make sure it doesn’t return again as a bug or failing QA
  4. Finishes the task, designing things in a way so that devs don’t need to put in extra effort in the future

  In short, learning how to do something right, but also alternative strategies, how to pick the best option, and finally make sure you always end up with the right choice, or automatically do so, by design.

  It’s at core a matter of experience, but taking on new opportunities and reading up helps to accelerate that.

  This might already be well-known but Avery Brooks also directed some episodes! Like Far Beyond the Stars, one of the best episodes

  It’s only relevant for some specific religions. It’s not particularly important for most people who have or will exist.

  You’ll have to use a 3rd party launcher and/or a custom icon pack if you want consistency beyond what the app developers have provided

  I wonder if it’s all those variables named with single letter and abbreviations, so annoying to code review
