  • Usually it’s the part of the org that is directly interacting with big, corporate customers. Those customers can and often do directly shape how a product works. It’s like a sales team, but focused on existing customers with big contracts (that might be expanded), rather than acquiring new customers.

    But admittedly, this has just been my experience. I’m sure it’s probably not universally true.








  • Let’s give it a shot. I live in the suburbs of Lincoln, Nebraska, which is an average-sized college town in the US (about 300k residents):

    • Nearest convenience store: 1.1 miles/1.7km (we often do walk there, takes about 20 minutes)
    • Nearest chain supermarket/big supermarket (they are often one in the same here): Target @ 1.5 miles/2.4km
    • Bus stop: 1.3 miles/2.1km
    • Nearest park: 0.6 miles/965m
    • Nearest public library: 3.5 miles/5.6km
    • Nearest train station: 9.1 miles/14.6km (we don’t really use trains much at all in the US, though)


  • I do have a kid. We give our son a variety of foods and let him decide what he wants to eat. He eats a lot of different kinds of foods (big fan of Indian food atm), and the foods he wants to eat change from one day to the next. Treats are reserved for special occasions, mostly because those in particular can have a pretty significant impact on brain chemistry.

    Forcing kids to eat is very well known to be a very bad idea.




  • Interactive rebase? There’s no GUI that actually does that well, if at all. And it’s a massive part of my daily workflow.

    The CLI is far, far more powerful and has many features that GUIs do not.

    It’s also scriptable. For example, I often like to see just the commits I’ve made that diverge from master, along with the files changed in each. This can be accomplished with git log --oneline --stat --name-status origin/master..HEAD. What’s more, since this is just a CLI command, I can very easily make a keybind in vim to execute the command and stick it’s output into a split window. This lets me use git as a navigation tool as I can then very quickly jump to files that I’ve changed in some recent commit.

    This is all using a standard, uniform interface without mucking around with IDE plugin settings (if they even can do such a thing). I have many, many other examples of scripting with it, such as loading side-by-side diffs for all files in the worktree against some particular commit (defaulting to master) in vim in a tabpage-per-file, which I often use to review all of my changes before making a commit.



  • I’d say the odds of kids doing that are pretty slim, they usually aren’t that strategic when it comes to food. But even if it were the case, it’s still no reason to control kids’ food intake during mealtime. That’s just abusive and is going to give them issues with food.

    Kids are generally actually quite good at regulating their food intake naturally in ways that parents often don’t understand. Adults tend to think in terms of roughly balanced meals for every meal, but kids often tend to favor one particular food at a time, achieving balance of nutrition over the course of the week. Especially when they’re younger, it’s often very chaotic what kids want to eat at a given time. They might love something one day and hate it the next. Their taste and palate are still developing, and it’s a parent’s job to be flexible rather than a child’s job to follow arbitrary food rules.





  • I’m sure it’s fine for small-scale usage, but overall it’s extremely inflexible and doesn’t really scale well at all. There’s also a lot of very basic functionality that’s straight up missing. For example, there’s no way to have a global epic priority. You can rearrange epics in an epic board, but the ordering of the epics there is not persisted elsewhere. There were many, many other shortcomings we kept running into.

    Oh, and after a lot of our tickets had been imported (which itself was a huge undertaking since the auto import tools are complete trash), it started to be very slow. It feels like a very unfinished, unpolished product.

    We use Gitlab’s CI/CD features extensively at my current job and it’s very, very nice. That’s what they are actually good at, not project management.
