We are miracles

Last week, I learned that the punk band Rise Against has an acoustic symphony album called Ghost Note Symphonies. We’ve had rainy acoustic music weather here the last few days, and one song on the album really stood out to me: Miracle. (Here’s the original punk version if you’d prefer it.) It’s a song about not waiting for the change you want to happen. About getting out there and making your dent in the universe.

Pruning, harvesting, replanting, and other forced metaphors

I’ve been doing a lot of work on my digital garden over the last few weeks, and wanted to briefly mention some updates. I completely replanted the Reference Guides. Rather than being “recreated MDN,” it’s now big bucket of notes and how-to articles, filterable with tags. I’m harvesting content from the old guides, cleaning it up, and planting it anew. I’ve added new garden sections. I now have dedicate planters for my favorite media, places I’ve been to, info about my D&D characters and MtG decks, and my ongoing projects.

What if everything you knew about origin was a lie? 😱

Most devs think it’s a hardcoded Git rule, but is it actually just a nickname we all agreed on? Let's see who knows the truth behind Git's naming conventions 👇

If your only remote were named upstream instead of origin, what would change?

We’ve all typed git push origin main a thousand times, but do you actually know what "origin" is? Is it a branch? A server? A nickname? 🧐

In Git, what is a remote such as origin?

The Which Side Are You On? (remix) by Rebel Diaz came out 11 years ago, and it’s more relevant than ever… Gave the money to suckas while our community’s still poor Withdrew the troops but started another war Colonized and terrorized and created an oil crisis So they could make a killin’ on food and gas prices Prisons is fillin’, they tryna lock up the future Militarize borders and control of computers
