  • Yeh, for me git is a backup system.
    My boss gave me a hand on some bits (more, I set up a framework and he could tweak pages). Anyway, I fixed some stuff, tidied some of his shit, then trying to get git to merge that back into his workspace REALLY stretched my knowledge of git LUL.
    I’m sure doing that every day would get me up to speed, but ATM commit/push means “backup” to me




  • Good god, imagine 360 timezones to describe each longitude.
    Each timezone would be 4 minutes, and span roughly 56 miles (tho, that’s different as you get nearer the poles).
    For the majority of things, it would be fine. Most appointments etc that are “booked” verbally would likely be within 56 miles, where “casual” time would work. Anything beyond that feels like a “significant” thing, which would probably involve written/digital communication - where computers could pick up the slack for translation.
    And EVERYONE would be aware of timezones. So, even Microsoft/Excel would have to recognise that timezones are a real thing.

    So, probably not that bad






  • I had a google summary telling me how to use a lodash (js object/array/things helper library) method that sounded like it probably would exist.
    It was named how lodash would likely name it, and was summarised to do what i needed.
    Except, lodash doesnt have that method. Had to use a couple methods.

    But that was eye opening for me.
    Similar to lawyers citing cases that dont exist.
    Saw a meme-ish post recently from an IBM presentation 30-40 years ago along the lines of “computers cannot be held accountable. So dont have them make decisions”.
