  • I’m probably going to get downvoted to Hell and back, but someone’s gotta say it: that’s a git problem, not Windows.

    First of all, I agree that case-insensitive file systems suck. It makes things inconsistent, especially from a development standpoint.

    But, everyone has known that Windows (and macOS) use case insensitive file systems. At least for Windows, it always has been that way.

    Git was written in Linux, which uses a case sensitive file system. So it’s no surprise that its internals use case insensitive storage. Someone ported it over to Windows, and I’m sure they knew about the file system differences. They could’ve taken that into account for file systems that are case insensitive, but chose not to do anything to safe guard Windows users.

    But until the day that somebody fixes Git, everybody who is not using case sensitive file systems needs to care more about how they name things (and make sure their team does too). Because fuck everyone else, right?






  • 👆 This. In my experience, I’ve seen a lot of developers get upset about “their code” not being used, time wasted, or someone else changing the code after the fact. Who cares? Once you commit that code, it’s no longer your code. It’s the company’s code. Your paycheck will reflect the same amount of money regardless — and if it doesn’t, you may want to find a better employer. 😅





  • According to the PMBOK (7th edition) by the Project Management Institute (PMI), daily standup is a “brief, daily collaboration meeting in which the team review progress from the previous day, declares intentions for the current day, and highlights any obstacles encountered or anticipated.” Source

    To be fair, daily standups are defined however your group collectively decide to define it.

    For those who decide to report the work from previous day, it’s expected that you would have made your list before the meeting, not during. It’s a practice I too struggle with. 😊
