sayrer@atpfm @siracusa @caseyliss you're missing the fully YOLO mode here. You can have Dropbox sync the git repo, so it doesn't matter if you forget to check things in.
John Siracusa@sayrer I have two underscore-separated words for you: node_modules
@siracusa it works! I learned to do this from working at big companies and getting pulled into meetings or incidents or whatever. In my case, it would be Rust Cargo things, but I've done it on Node stuff too.
Then, the question becomes: why not do that?
@sayrer I’ve done it, and I couldn’t stand the constant syncing activity.
@siracusa hmm, never had the problem. The work stuff is always at least 1GB ethernet, and home has only been half as fast. That blows through a Node project pretty quickly.
I think another thing is having a tough build system (Bazel, Buck, etc) so I don't actually need the compiled stuff.
But I'm not sure this recipe holds true. My macOS desktop is iCloud synced now.
