And none of these will stick it to you on multiple fronts if it ever comes down to it.

You want safety, diversify. You want convenience, go all in.

Yeah, that scenario sounds awfully familiar to me as well. 😅

Even with them, it’s sometimes guesswork. Without them, it’s just stabbing in the dark. 😄

Spike’s a short period set aside to research a problem before committing to how long it’ll take to solve it.

My mentor at my first job was a mid-level dev 10 years younger than me. He was an all-around great and knowledgeable guy. When he’d get asked for an estimate on something without proper details in the ticket, he’d reply that a spike was needed before any kind of estimate, and that’s how it would usually proceed.

Sometimes, however, the PM would insist on an immediate estimate. My mentor would then, without hesitation, reply: “8 points” (a full sprint in our company).

“But why that long when you don’t know the details?”

“Exactly. Give me a spike to find out, and then it could be less.”

None of us other devs contradicted him, junior or senior, because we understood where he was coming from. Needless to say, I learned a lot from him including how not to kill myself so someone else could get a tap on the back.

I find that Television complements fd nicely.

Thank you. 😄

Very good advices!

It’s a lot friendlier with friends. 🍻

Thanks for the script approach idea!

Recently discovered Television.

Yeah, https was for downloading it in the first place. My bad, I didn’t get my thoughts out in the right order.

I think safer approach is to:

1. Download the script first, review its contents, and then execute.
2. Ensure the URL uses HTTPS to reduce the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks

Another privacy nightmare.

And IronFox don’t exist on desktop. That’s why they’re listed together.

Keep an eye on it, but it’s not ready yet.

6 months - you’re good. 3 for me. 😄
