@niclake A git alias i've been using for a long time:

first-push = ! git push --set-upstream origin $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)

For pushing the branch the first time, when it would otherwise be rejected with an error of "The current branch xxx has no upstream branch."

I am really quite concerned about how some of the AI and LLM suggested changes will impact writing over time. Powerpoint has decided that 'indicates' is a difficult term and I should choose a simpler word to improve clarity. I know society has gone through this kind of thing a lot of times in history but whoa does it feel fast and different when you are the old person clinging to your understanding of language rather than the kid hearing how dime novels and pulp fiction were ruining the youths
Sums up my experience growing up

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

@instantiatethis I get this to a certain extent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow_syndrome

Most of the time I don't notice it but now I'm thinking about it I am.

I may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.

It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.
