  • In TBD, it’s not a “release” until its production ready. The methodology and philosophy doesn’t prevent you from developing multiple feature branches at once or even deploying a work in progress feature branch to a dev environment.

    All TBD requires in that case is once the feature branch is production ready, it’s merged to the trunk. You may need to add a feature toggle if there are multiple release like for different architectures. And you also might benefit from using git tags and deploying to production from a git tag instead of the most recent commit on a branch.

    Exactly what you need to do is going to depend on the project’s exact needs but TBD is totally possible in that example.







  • I kinda love it in theory.

    Will be trying this out.

    I do find it funny however that awk is lumped together with these small use case tools like sed, grep, tr, cut, and rev, since awk can be used to replace all of these tools and is it’s own language.

    I don’t think the emphasis should be on simplicity, but rather on understandability (which long awk commands are not either).

    If you give someone a bash script, they should be able to know exactly what the code will do when they read the script without having to run it or cat out the source it might need to parse. Using ubiquitous tools that many people understand is a good step.

    Sadly awk is installed by default in most distros and tools like jq and jc would require installation.



  • Honestly. It’s about more than money.

    If your boss says you must return to the office, after 3 years of WFH. At best, it shows that they do not value or respect you, and are just making an arbitrary decision in a bid to sell more stocks.

    At worst, there might be some insidious reason to make employees physically available. Maybe they are getting a kickback somehow, or selling data that they can only get when you are there, or maybe they are just horny and want to seduce you sexually.

    A remote worker is often happier, more productive, and cost less to employ even if they are paid the same as an on-site worker. Offices do not have to provide parking, seating, HVAC, power, wifi, and will even have less physical security vectors.

    If some people prefer to go into an office, then it should be optional. Not a hybrid model where they force you to come a certain number of days a week.

    At the end of the day unless you are on some kind of probation or evaluation period WFH should be the default when ever possible.
