I was thinking poetic justice, personally

I stopped reading at “the Internet got going in 1995”. FFS, even the web dates back to 1991!

That’s a great idea if it’s possible, but I want to say it wouldn’t have helped with our environment at the time.

I almost wish I could look back at that repo and share the yaml file here, maybe I was missing something back then. I’m certainly more proficient with yaml now.

I do recall wishing there was a way to simulate the execution locally. I think I remember hearing about a local runner, but it had too many caveats to help.

We use Azure Devops at my current gig. It works pretty well for our setup. I’ve used GHA before; it definitely didn’t “spark joy”. I wastedspent way too many hours in the “update yaml file, commit, push, wait 5 minutes for it to fail again” spiral of despairfeedback loop.

Nice thing with ADO is its release dashboard – you get a really nice summary of recent builds and where they went:

$project - dev - test - prod

I didn’t see anything similar for GHA.

Are you a programmer?

Hudson? Man, that’s a blast from the past.

Yeah, it’s fairly clever but not actually magical. Sometimes you have to go in and take a look.

Actually, the real magic is that it works out mostly ok most of the time. Much better than older systems where you would have to “check out” a file to work on it which would lock others out. I’ve heard older programmers talk about needing to go find someone who had a file checked out and have them check it back in to enable them to do some work.

Roughly equal parts “git is clever” and “once in a while, someone has to take some time to figure it out”.

Say the code is split into two files. You and I both make changes, but you’re working on file A and I’m in file B. No problem!

Now we both make changes in file A. Sometimes Git can just “figure it out”, like if all your changes are in the beginning of the file, and all my changes are at the end.

But sometimes we both change the same section. Git can’t figure that part out, so one of us has to sit down and reconcile the changes. Sometimes this is pretty simple, other times…not so much.

Put it all together, and it works out pretty well most of the time.

Hard disagree. No books should ever be burned. Don’t legitimize the practice.

Are you lost? I didn’t talk about hiring practices.

Graceful degradation - pfft.

Progressive enhancement - yeah!

I think I see where you’re coming from. I don’t hear grifters in that phrase, personally. I’d almost say the opposite; workaholics are more likely to invoke the phrase. Or, to put it another way, victims of upper management gaslighting.

working hard is not a virtue

I have to disagree here. Well, probably. I figure, if you’re not lazy/half-assing your job, you’re pretty much working hard, right? I see it as being diligent about your job, and yes, I do see some virtue in that.

But you also wrote “indicator of poor management” which makes me think you’re using “working hard” as a label for something like “unpaid overtime”. That would be a whole different ballgame.

I don’t think this post is a good fit. The name of the community is “mildly infuriating”, not “absolutely enraging”!

Yeah, basically you’d have to cut those figures down to 1/4 of what they are before I’d consider them reasonable.

I do agree with you in principle – if the organizer is feeding everyone, it’s only decent to pitch in a few bucks to cover the groceries.

Looking at the post, it’s $345 for commuters – or about $70 per meal.

For people staying in the accommodations, it’s about $210 per night.

Overall, that seems expensive for a camping trip on Meetup.

Is it not an ID because of that? I don’t see the relevance of mentioning address here.

Edit: oh, proof of residence? I went back and re-read the GP. It makes more sense in that context.

United States ID card

Passport seems like it sorta fits, but it’s hardly universal.

I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.
