You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back,…
The best commit message: is what is meaningful to a future you 1 week from now, no further otherwise takes up the least time to think about right now
Reversing max and min. That's one I've done a lot, and I don't think any compiler could save me from.
C++ has Algol roots, but I think the C++ template metaprogramming style is an ur-language of its own. You could draw some parallels with ML maybe, but they came at it from a different direction.
You could solve the original problem statement using just the part of the script that lists unmerged branches
"Because I use NixOS, this was very easy." First time I've heard someone say that

It's humans. This is like TSA's fake bomb detectors with nothing inside the plastic shell
Nate Silver is an ideologue who deeply wants BlueSky to be failing.
This isn't a bailout, though. It's strong-arming.
SDI was real and led to the missile defense systems that the US has fielded today.

All the contractors and pork districts could still be engaged in doing something more useful.
The bottleneck is context switching
This is WW3 playing out. Russia installed its people in America to dismantle our defenses.
AI makes a lot of money. But games are what matter
The context I have heard the ham and eggs analogy was for certain scrum rituals that were supposed to be for ham people only (ie, excluding people without a stake in the outcome). Someone probably told this boss to butt…
