git add --all :/

git commit -m "added this awesome new feature'

git push origin my-new-feature

<open PR>

<wait for feedback>

<address feedback>

<merge PR>

<ship>

nahname··on How the Witcher 3’s economy was saved by polynomial least squares
Playing on the highest difficulty. Had no issues with buying anything I wanted before leaving white orchard (tutorial area).
nahname··on GitHub Raises $250M at $2B Valuation
There is no one doing "exactly what GitHub does". If you think hosting git repos is all they are about, you are completely missing out.
nahname··on Telegram Suffers DDOS, Criticism For Enabling Human Rights Lawyers In China
There is a difference between attacking the message and attacking the messenger.
nahname··on GitLab raises 1.5M
You can do exactly that with github. org/app PR with the first line "Fixes org/tracking#43" will link the PR to the tracking repo's issue. Merging the PR closes the issue.
nahname··on LastPass Security Notice
Manual, so the number of accounts will determine your pain. That said, 1Password has an OSX client + Chrome extension. Day to day is much easier to use.
nahname··on LastPass Security Notice
Switched from LastPass to 1Password two weeks ago. 1Password has a much cleaner and intuitive UI.
nahname··on Ask HN: Software developers, What happened when you were fired/laid off?
Was part of a failing startup and knew what was coming. Still hurts to go through being laid off. They gave me a months severance.

Told a buddy what happened and had an interview lined up for the next day. Got the job and started the following week. In the end, I came out ahead. Consider myself lucky and fortunate that my skills are in such demand.

nahname··on Bruce Schneier – Surveillance or Security (2014) [video]
Believe this is the same talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJsVS3l-xmU

Edit: The BBC video is not loading for me

nahname··on India’s Flipkart to shut down website, thanks to popularity of mobile
>Why would anyone, that has a choice in the matter, prefer a mobile app for shopping.

That's the clincher. No desktop, no choice.

nahname··on California's Broken Jaywalking Law
Got a ticket for $205 while working in LA. Definitely felt like a cash grab.
nahname··on Why we don’t use a CDN: A story about SPDY and SSL (2014)
That would only occur if the sites referenced exactly the same version of the same library on the same CDN with the same URL.
nahname··on The Shut-In Economy
I'm spending over $100 a week per person right now on groceries. Really goes to show how expensive food is in Canada.

Roughly, how many dev teams are there at hubspot?

Are those sales the number of orders per shop?
nahname··on Software Architect – A Role, Not a Job
Seen every architect do this time and time again.
nahname··on Encrypting Amazon RDS Resources
Encrypting backups makes a lot of sense. Is encrypting an active db a requirement in some enterprise environments?
nahname··on How GitHub Uses GitHub to Document GitHub
Middleman has almost no automated testing suite. Important to note if you are going to invest in something.
nahname··on Immigration is about talent, not costs
>Especially since those of us in tech are, by and large, ridiculously well-compensated.

Tech workers maintained the middle class, while most jobs saw stagnant growth. I would not say ridiculously well compensated.

nahname··on The Programmer's Price: Want to hire a coding superstar? Call the agent
If you work three hours and get $200 for your time, you are not making $200/hr.
nahname··on Facebook Go Libraries
Looks more like Naitik Shah's open-source libraries.
nahname··on Move Fast and Break Nothing
Facebook, where the users are the QA department

That seems similar to the anti-fragile mindset.
nahname··on America’s Tech Guru Steps Down, But He’s Not Done Rebooting the Government
It's the 20+ years of changes that cause the issue, not the original spec.
nahname··on America’s Tech Guru Steps Down, But He’s Not Done Rebooting the Government
You don't think it is possible that in the 30 years since the original system was written, things have become a little inane?
nahname··on Oregon sues Oracle, claiming fraud over failed Obamacare website
Optimistically, this would lead to reform of software partner selection within the government.

However, I expect it will introduce more red tape and ensure the same result. More work for companies like Oracle and more failed projects and waste.

nahname··on [dead]
The facebook messaging app wants access most everything my phone can give it. No thanks.
nahname··on I've never seen a language's style guide recommend avoiding comments before
How can you write clean, simple comments if you cannot write clean, simple code.
