Discovered `less -S` today which really saved me with a log file that had a bad error message that was so long even `less` started chugging.

"-S or --chop-long-lines"

"Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped (truncated) rather than wrapped. That is, the portion of a long line that does not fit in the screen width is not shown. The default is to wrap long lines; that is, display the remainder on the next line."

Immediately fixed the problem, got the info I needed from the file in 2 seconds.

Always surprises me that so many software developers accept to not really understand merge conflicts. Yes it can be confusing, but come on people ! You deal with confusing things all day long, why not work to clarify that one ?

"Our work naturally increases the mass of software we’re moving. Acceleration gets harder, and our work slows. To change velocity, don’t apply more force. Work to reduce mass."

"Feels weird to say it, but I think it is very unlikely that humans will be needed to write code, except in some very niche cases perhaps. I think history books of the future will talk about how people used to write code manually (manually!), the same way that we used to have switchboard operators, signalmen on railways, manual typesetting, and human computers. Some very small number of people will still write code, but mostly for fun - just like some people hand-build cars just for fun.

I think this will happen in phases, and faster than most people expect".
