Your eyes are burning at 2 AM? 👁️🌙

If you’re squinting to see a merge indicator or struggling with inconsistent tab borders, you aren't coding—you're fighting your tools..

In the latest SmartGit's preview, we stopped fighting and started refining 🚀. We didn't just turn the background black:

✅ We reworked the toolbar icons,
✅ improved contrast,
✅ and deepened the theme to reduce eye strain during those long-haul sprints.

The constraint is no longer typing speed. It is how well you direct, review, and orchestrate.

Products that needed 3-5 engineers can now be built by one person.

I was turned down for a developer job for being a perfectionist...

I'd done a personality type test, and “perfectionist” was the result...

I smiled inwardly with a small amount of pride. 😊

The interview had gone well… or so I’d thought…

Suddenly, the interviewer was arguing that being a perfectionist wasn't a good thing...

AI can write code faster than you, but can you read it that fast? Margaret-Anne Storey wrote a fantastic piece on "Cognitive Debt"—the mental overhead required to maintain AI-generated codebases. A deeply insightful read for anyone building software right now.

I tried it out myself and implemented a Swift version of the Mozilla Readability SDK using Agentic Engineering.

The Universe, perhaps, is not just "similar" to a computer.

He who is too critical of his peers shall be doomed to repeat their mistakes and have very good reasons for doing so that made a lot of sense at the time, I can assure you.

Linux DevOps eBook Bundle

Welcome to this comprehensive collection of essential tech guides. Each book in this bundle serves as a stepping stone into the vast world of technology, from the foundational layers of Linux systems to the nuanced art of infrastructure management with Terraform. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast looking to expand your horizons, this bundle caters to your thirst for knowledge without overwhelming you. By selecting this bundle, you're not just acquiring texts; you're embarking on a journey. A journey that has been charted by someone who believes in the power of sharing knowledge, the importance of understanding core principles, and the joy of learning. Thank you for allowing these works to be a part of your educational journey. Dive in, explore, and let the world of technology unfold before you. Suggested order of reading the books would be: 1. Introduction to Linux:  -  Provides foundational knowledge on which many of the other topics will be built upon, especially for those who are new to the Linux environment. 2. Introduction to Bash Scripting:  -  After gaining familiarity with the Linux environment, users can delve into automating tasks within that environment using Bash scripting. 3. Introduction to Git and GitHub:  -  Version control is essential for any serious coding or infrastructure project. Knowing Git and GitHub early will be beneficial as the reader progresses to other topics. 4. Introduction to SQL:  -  Databases are ubiquitous in software and system design. SQL is foundational for understanding how to interact with relational databases. 5. Introduction to Docker:  -  With a foundation in Linux, scripting, version control, and databases, readers can move on to understanding containerization, a key concept in modern development and deployment practices. 6. Introduction to Terraform:  -  After grasping the basics of Docker, users can further their knowledge in infrastructure automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform. If you're into DevOps, you'll love DevOps Daily: it has free bite-sized exercises, tools, and guides to level up fast.
