    Changing stuff and seeing what happens. If you change two things the universe will let the problem be fixed, because that leaves you uncertain which thing fixed the problem.

      I have a mention in forward with a note being “the only documention left was a series of desperate sounding emails that the documentation was still on the now quarenteened work computers and something about a README”

      THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME, like I appreciate my bosses and PMs being chill and not wanting to overwork me on my way out but seriously guys I needed to hand this off to someone and put it somewhere. shrug

        I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. On my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

    It’s a weekday, but I’m not a pro, so either llama or hamster. Maybe sloth, we’ll see where today’s project goes.

    Does anybody know if there’s a standard method to do a 1-way broadcast from mobile wifi hardware? (Or Auracast, it looks like the same thing) It’s for a sort of mesh network where links may change very rapidly, and so a handshake doesn’t make sense.

      I’m sorta like the pigeon but more just a vague understanding of the last critical thing that was asked of me.

    I’m definitely writing useless git commit messages

    For work, I at least include the Jira ticket id

    For personal stuff, it’s sweeping features stuffed into one commit that barely describes what was changed

      Forcing myself to write in the format of Conventional Commits has helped me a lot to write better commit messages.

        Looking at the website, Convebtial Commits seems a little verbose for ny tastes but it probably helps actually communicate the changes so everyone is on the same page. Thanks for the tip!

      What was the git flag to basically rewrite history again?

      I’ve definitely been guilty of this, but if I can redo my changes in narrative form before I push I bet I won’t have to.

    I’m the donkey today - but it’s okay since I’m writing some automated tests over the incomprehensible thing I wrote on Tuesday.
