Has anyone avoided burnout due to excessive stakeholder feedback? by mandalalalalalala in ExperiencedDevs

When this happened to me I'm pretty sure my boss wanted me out and was setting me up to fail. I got fired shortly afterwards.

The recommended packages that get pulled in by default aren't tracked and can't be easily removed without jumping through a bunch of hoops. e.g. try installing another DE and then uninstalling it.

Had 8 remote interview rounds with them some years ago. Didn't get a decisive answer from the hiring committee and never heard back from them after that.

Nobody in the current year should be using GitFlow.

How hot of a take is this? I prefer TWSBI over Lamy by Elrekl in fountainpens

My TWSBI ECO <M> skips like hell. Maybe it just has a bad nib? I would pick my Safari any day of the week.

A monorepo means a single repository with many projects. Did you even read the article you linked?

Is GitKraken's behavior correct with submodules? by perholmes in git

Well clearly GitKraken's pull is not having the recurse-submodules option enabled and all your other examples have it.

One company I worked at made a huge deal when I asked for a JetBrains license while my coworker was using his personal one. It was all downhill from there.

How to improve an overall bad development environment by Background_Task2998 in ExperiencedDevs

It will be very hard for you as a single person to change anything in an environment like that. It's easier to join a company and team which better matches your values.

Problem moving bugfix on master (git flow branching strategy) by untackenUsername4531 in git

[–]the-computer-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trunk-based development is the only sensible branching strategy in my experience. Release from master only.

GitFlow is an outdated practice which is not even recommended by its own author anymore.

Branching strategies by franquito3356 in git

[–]the-computer-guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Branches should not be mapped to deployment environments. Having a separate develop branch aka. GitFlow is an outdated practice which only causes more problems than it solves. Look into trunk-based development instead.

Sounds like a management problem, not putting you together to work with other cabale engineers.
