If it's a public repo, revoke the key (on your own/company repo it might not matter so much)

Then

  • git reset head~1
  • remove api key
  • git push - f

Interesting idea to store github comments inside git, the article just isn't very clear to me on how to actually do it.

He's talking about using an "internal CLI tool" so I guess it's not a public tool?

But anyways, this kinda sounds like something you could do though a Github Action right? Like if a PR is merged, run an action that also appends PR comments or other meta-data from github into git

I've started to prefer option A to be honest.

In C# I'm using Verify - So I prefer to just use Verify(state); and compare the entire state against a json saved state, instead of manually verifying every individual property

Do you have any book recommendations?

I think The Pragmatic Programmer by Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas is a great book everyone should read every couple of years. It's not really a lot of "low level coding tips" - more like overall paradigms

I’m always privating my repos because I’m not sure if I’m doing some horrible beginner inefficiency/bad practice where I should be embarrassed for having written it, let alone for letting other people see it.

Well that's something not to do. Make you "horrible code" public, and ask people to do a code review. Or see what contributors want to change through a PR (if you're so lucky). You're not going to learn anything from others by hiding your mistakes. And no one besides you really cares if you're committing horrible code.

It's pretty hard to just give generic advice on how to write clean code, but if people can just tell specifically what you can improve it's much easier

Me: building a fluent interface framework...
I already support a WrapperOf<T, T, T, T>
User: Can I have a WrapperOf<T, T, T, T, T> because I'm doing something weird?
Me: *sigh* god-damnit. You're right but I still hate it.

How essential are certifications in this field? Can I pursue a career without them or with only a few to kick-start my early career?

It depends what kind of company you want to work for. Most 'real companies' barely care about your diplomas or certificates. If you want to work from some consultancy company like SAP or Capgemini these certifications check checkboxes you need to have checked to get promotions

Right.. well clearly I have clicked all the links, and read all the things, and I still don't understand it. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

So assume in good faith, assume I have absolutely no idea what the problem even is due of my own stupidity. So ELI5 and give a synopsis of the problem.

Did you stop reading or are you intentionally trying to phrase it as if the universities won’t do anything? [...]
It doesn’t seem like you’re even trying to make a good faith argument.

My first sentence and first 4 words are "So what’s stopping them?". So did you stop reading before that - or what are you even arguing about, and where is your 'good faith'? You're arguing about meta-nonsense without answering

What’s stopping them? What do they even need from "federation" or "ActivityPub" to just build this?

Hmm, I'm thinking - We should place a bunch properties and just name them something like "${username}" - "${password}" and variations of that, and see we can "find/replace" cross-site script them into sending their bots details

So what's stopping them? Universities have internship programs and internal projects. In a university team of 4 people doing projects, 63x4 252 students could be assigned to a project to build this.

But

The french open science committee (CoSO) is indeed interested in the ActivityPub implementation in GitLab

Good phrasing. They are "interested in the ActivityPub implementation" not "interested in the implementing ActivityPub" - so who gives a shit what a bunch of universities are interested in
