Kifot··on Ask HN: What is your Git commit/push flow?
> The branch will NOT be a history of how it was actually programmed.

I'm not sure how to reconcile it with the idea of having a branch for each feature. In my head, developing a feature on a branch creates a history of how the feature was programmed. Could you elaborate on that?

Kifot··on Still no consensus on testing private methods
In that case how to refactor a class that has 20 private methods? Moving them to another class and making them public would just shift the problem, not solve it
Kifot··on Living on 24 hours a day
Exactly, I feel like the problem is that these days we no longer actually play Age of Empires (which, again, would be fine), we share this time between playing Age of Empires, looking at Instagram and checking out work emails
Kifot··on Ask HN: What are you teaching your kids that is not taught in school?
I agree, it seems that in Western culture you'll be seen as indecisive unless you pick a side and stick to it. Sometimes I'm frustrated with my tendency to be on the fence on so many issues, but at the end of the day it really seems more fair than having extreme views.
Kifot··on Ask HN: What are you teaching your kids that is not taught in school?
honest question, how did you teach yourself to do it in the first place?
Kifot··on Twitter Will Allow Employees to Work at Home Forever
I have the same feelings and I think a part of it comes from the fact that it's not exactly possible to meet with people after work (not counting Zoom/Skype/Whatsapp with friends). It's not the remote working that is depriving us of our joy of socializing - it's having to stay home after.
Kifot··on Air travel is going to be very bad, for a very long time
Oh that's right, what I meant is that probably a huge part of people traveling by plane comes from big cities where there is little to no way to avoid being squeezed with other people on a daily basis
Kifot··on Air travel is going to be very bad, for a very long time
What I can't wrap my head around: how is being packed with 100s of people inside of a plane a few times a year seen as more dangerous than being even more packed with even more people in the metro every day during commute? I feel like the risk of getting infected in public transport is undermined comparing to planes/hotels/restaurants.
Kifot··on How China Unleashed Twitter Trolls to Discredit Hong Kong’s Protesters
What do you think is the best approach to make sure one's opinion is independent without spending a massive amount of time on getting an expertise in the subject?
Kifot··on I Quit Social Media for a Year
The main upside though is not feeling the urge to compete with other people which makes it different from the likes of Facebook/Instagram.
Kifot··on Europe is edging towards making post-car cities a reality
As a guy from Poland, I feel like the only obstacle is atrocious weather in winter, which stops 95% people from riding bikes. From March to November it would work just fine though.
Kifot··on Ask HN: If your job was remote, which city would you choose to live in?
What's the best and the worst thing about this city in your opinion? I'm dreaming about moving to Spain and hesitate between Barcelona and Valencia
Kifot··on Ask HN: If your job was remote, which city would you choose to live in?
Wrocław represent! I hate living here because of the winters, but still it's a great place to live for someone who doesn't mind the cold
Kifot··on Stackoverflow is removing Hot Meta Posts from front page
I'd rather have Hot Network Questions removed, as instead of reading a SO answer I need I always end up distracted by "How would a sea turtle end up on its back?" kind of questions on the right side
Kifot··on Ask HN: Should I quit my job?
Do you think these tensions and uncertainty are going to affect people who work in relatively stable fields such as IT?
Kifot··on Ask HN: What Hacker News comments have you bookmarked?
out of curiosity, which features of English language do you find so annoying? My first guess would be inconsistence in pronunciation, but otherwise it seems quite logical and easy to learn
