As a programmer, I'll likely be making off-by-one mistakes until the day after I die
@dotjayne It does make me wonder if anyone has died while their code was in review, and then it got merged.
@heygarrett @dotjayne not enough people are asking, What Happens To Your Unapplied Git Stashes After You Die?

@pikesley @heygarrett @dotjayne The ship Naglfar is built from the git stashes of the dead and will sail against the gods at Ragnarök.

Put things you're working on in WIP PRs instead of stashing them forever lest you hasten the coming of the end of days!

@pikesley @heygarrett @dotjayne they are lost, like tears in rain
@pikesley @heygarrett @dotjayne when the trumpets call, all commits are merged, the commit some call, the Octopus Merge at the End of the Universe.
@pikesley @heygarrett @dotjayne the road to hell is paved with them.

@heygarrett @dotjayne I have had pull requests reviewed and pulled in while I had written them before I broke my ankle and was in the hospital, and merged in before I got back to being able to work.

So...somebody probably got the Bus Factor version of that too.

Hopefully it wasn't Windows Recall that was subject to that.

@heygarrett @dotjayne This was before Git, but I had to pick up a set of patches from a colleague who died if cancer at my previous $DAYJOB. It was tough, but fortunately he was in the habit of documenting all he did, so I did manage to finish it.

I picked up the same habit of keeping a work log shortly after.

@heygarrett @dotjayne Correction: Git was around (this was in 2008), but the company used an older VCS.
