I always feel like my code is the best in personal projects when I don’t need to conform to whatever style and architecture has been decided on by history and committee.

For me it's always, "this is hacky as shit, but it works, and nobody will ever see it but me."

My most arcane pieces of code (abusing null references to make the garbage collector handle object deletion kind of cursed) are usually posted publicly somewhere... If it works and all that.

Was gonna say, 1st and 2nd should be switched

Gotta review the 5 line PR ten times just to make absolutely totally sure there's nothing wrong with it before submitting it.

And then notice the spelling error.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

My spelling errors only come into existence after I commit.

Just another free PR ;)

Instant commit --amend + push --force

[–] omidmnz 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Prefer --force-with-lease. It doesn't make a difference in this scenario, but it's a safer habit/default.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There is no reason to force push anymore - force with lease is always preferable. So said, a frequent rebaser.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wait what is the difference between the two?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Force with lease will send up what your local thinks the most recent commit on the branch was and the host will reject the push if it knows of a more recent commit on that branch. Basically, it saves you from overwriting a commit you didn't realize existed.

Don't want to be the cause of a CVE now, do we?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I have never contributed to an open source project before, so if we exclude the third part this is the reverse of my habits. The stuff I do for work is bare minimum garbage, I freely admit. I really do not like my employer.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

Aaand here's why production software is so damn buggy. I'm not faulting you personally, just your employer.

Nobody can see this -> some people can see this -> anybody can see this

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Perfectly described!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

I'll be honest with ya pal, all 3 of em are pic 1 for the most part

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You saying the code quality of some of my colleagues is even worse on their personal projects? o_O

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

They probably don't even have personal projects

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Hmmm... I comment a lot on Lemmy... Maybe I could be more productive commenting code 🤔

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I would like to contribute to open source but I'm not confident enough or understand git properly. As solo dev I only have to fulfill my boss's standards, they seam to be low.

[–] towerful 2 points 7 months ago

Yeh, for me git is a backup system.
My boss gave me a hand on some bits (more, I set up a framework and he could tweak pages). Anyway, I fixed some stuff, tidied some of his shit, then trying to get git to merge that back into his workspace REALLY stretched my knowledge of git LUL.
I'm sure doing that every day would get me up to speed, but ATM commit/push means "backup" to me

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

invert personal stuff and work and its me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

That is very noble of you! Hats off.
