I guess this is just the foundation. A way to check types before runtime. I can see a lot gems making this experience better so I'm not too worried about that. It will become better, and it is optional.

For the time being I think this kind of type checking is only worthwhile in big projects, for smaller projects I have found Sorbet never finds an error, so it's just extra work to generate the files on a big change.

Their user case seems a bit weird to me. If a new application is deployed, can you not make changes to the nginx config locally and redeploy it? That way everyone has access and it'll be part of the usual merge request -> review -> merge flow.

If anything this tool makes editing easier and may lead to more misconfiguration.

I wish I would chain things in the navigation alias.

For example if I set the following alias:

    alias hello = '~/Docuemnts'

It would be nice if I could then execute hello/world to take me to ~/Documents/world but it requires hardcoding.

Guess I could play around with functions and arguments to solve this.

If you use oh-my-zsh, the kubectl and docker-compose plugin provide good aliases for every command.

Yeah this makes sense, better than a system where you have to enter dead hours

A problem I see with this in big teams is people working different hours and want to use an environment in the middle of the night.

Don't even need a big team actually, just takes 1 person who decides they want to do some work during a 'sleep cycle'. Pretty common where I work, you never know when someone might be interested in picking up some work.

I think I found one. My Amex bill is due on the 29th and I have a direct debit to pay it automatically. However it never got taken. First time this has ever happened.

Let's see if it happens today since it's now the 1st.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Signal does the job, doesn't store data, not even metadata, and can be used immediately.
