So how does Github manage to just keep getting worse.

I have noticed recently that context around diffs in Github no longer always show you the function they are in if the diff is in the middle of a function.

That means a lot more context switching for me which reduces review bandwidth overall.

Tools should only get better, not just degrade over time.

Like the whole point of working in tooling is to make developers lives better and more productive.

@ami @shafik @pluralistic I was thinking about getting the ebooks, but only payment methods available are Google GPay and credit cards. Why can't I make purchase without paying US companies and sending personal data to US BigTech? I hope I find European bookstore selling the books.

Because asking an independent author who pays out of his pocket to build a website that generates, at best, a few hundred dollars per month, to spend tens thousands of dollars on custom software for extra payment gateway integrations is completely unreasonable?

@pluralistic @ami @shafik Sorry, but I'm just used to payment methods I see everyday, even on the smallest websites, for example Netherlands-based PayU, which is very popular in Poland (over 300 different payment methods worldwide, open source plugin for Wordpress). I did a quick check on pricing and they advertise starting option with 7,90 USD activation fee and 1,1% + 0,08 USD for each transaction. That's just one of many options, there are over 600 payment plugins for Wordpress.
