@2ck it's a great plan. I enjoy it sometimes, too. But I struggle because I have a wife and two toddlers at home, and it doesn't play nice with the sleep schedules

My realization is the past year is that unbounded size is bad, whether orgs, code bases, government, anything. Define your boundaries. Choose your limits

It strikes me that, with a few exceptions, the larger an organisation is, the more "work" it takes simply to work there.

The overhead of communication, training, bureaucracy, and constant re-orgs means that less and less individual time is spent delivering valu…

Code is a liability, though I love it. The poetry of code is in its scarcity.

Spent time this week validating it was safe to delete a bunch of reporting code that (1) worked, (2) was correct, (3) I spent a lot of time creating, and (4) I was personally proud of. Nobody was really using them.

Why delete them? Because code is a liability and not an asset.

A remote work benefit I love the most is the lazy morning. I don’t set an alarm. I don’t fight with crowds or traffic.

I walk my dog and roll into the day. Why in the world would this be seen as negative?

Like, am I lazy or do you just hate yourself?

Wow. Motherload of the ideas I've been looking for! Let me see if I understand the workflow right:

1. create Pass location, in which
2. every file represents one password
3. git-control the whole location, so eg /Pass/.git

Is it a decision of tomb vs git? The tomb bit is the one I'm having a harder time piece together. Tomb encrypts entire directories, right?

@Parienve @turak passtomb and passwordstore were both new to me. Thanks for the references!

@turak Totally agree about not including sensitive information in code repos. These would be private (re: not even Github/lab) repos. But I have essentially avoided git for these files because it simply doesn't work. Is there any kind of internal solution that would maintain public encryption, but allow git-like reviewable synchronization of encrypted files?

I would like to use git to back-up, vc, and sync everything crucial on my text-based system, but some content, most notably my passwords file, are gpg encypted. This breaks git because reviewing changes essentially produces comparisons of gibberish. Does anyone know a solution for syncing/VC of encrypted data, which won't be only passwords?

https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2005/microsoft-gets-tdd-completely-wrong Nice old article on Microsoft getting TDD wrong in ways that many others have mistaken, too. Essentially, they suggested "waterfall-style TDD" which is a contradiction of terms. #TDD is meant to be fast and iterative. It is an absolute joy in #Clojure Cider (and presumably other toolings and languages), where you re-run the failing test with every re-evaluation, watching for that joyful green light to say that now you've passed. https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2005/microsoft-gets-tdd-completely-wrong

@skyblond so detached heads should be thought of as "read only", where other branches are ready to be changed and pushed?

@skyblond but why not just make it an ordinary branch? Why headless?
