TIL git worktrees are a thing.

Whenever you're tempted to clone the same repository multiple times to work on different branches simultaneously, use a worktree instead.

This is a 10 year old git feature that I wish I'd known about 10 years ago.

Thanks @webology for the tip.

For years now, I've been using https://www.giuspen.net/cherrytree/ (in Fedora, I install it from Ben's Copr repository: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bcotton/cherrytree/) which I store at my Nextcloud instance. I don't want to worry about any half-baked literary attempts leaked online ;)

I wanted to reorganize my notes for a long time, but procrastination always won. Fortunately, with the approaching #europython2025 a better task to procrastinate over appeared, so I read an insightful note from @hamatti: https://hamatti.org/posts/how-i-take-work-notes-as-a-developer/ and bit the bullet. Now I have a tweaked variation of something less chaotic than before.

How I take work notes as a developer

I’m kind of a notes geek and wanted to share what kind of notes I keep and why when I work in software development.

Not much left after the slug-o-calipse, but hey, who said that half a year of work must inevitably pay off? Fun is in the process. Now researching what can be planted in June, and how to humanely repel those slimy creatures. What works for you? (even partially, please no killing advice)

As a weird kid, I never quite found my people from the local social circles: school, hobbies, neighbourhood. I had friends yes but I felt I had to be something else to fit in.

The Internet where no niche is a too small to exist and find other likeminded people around it is a perfect invention for someone like me.

Everything seems ready for the actual mass #Python 3.14 rebuild in #Fedora Rawhide. We'll meet with @karo and @frenzy early next week to fire off and babysit the builds.

Fellow Fedora packagers: Now is not a good time to push breaking changes. (In the past, something special always happened during the rebuild.)

Volunteer Responsibility Amnesty Day is a day that happens twice a year (next up, June 21) where it's encouraged to look at all the volunteering you do and take some inventory.

What's still relevant, what is a positive force and what are responsibilities you can let go.

I'm really bad at saying no to any of mine which is why this day is such a good reminder to reconsider where I want to put my energy in the future.
