  • That doesn’t make any sense. Why not just use PowerShell directly then? Why use Bash or even command line and a batch file? It sounds to me like you’re over-complicating things for nothing and putting the blame on Microsoft for some reason.

    I’m a heavy Bash user myself and often find myself struggling a bit with PowerShell trying to look for equivalent commands. (commandlets?) But, the more I use it, the more I understand how it works and the more I improve my skills at using it.

    I know a lot of people like to shit on Microsoft, but seriously give their PowerShell a chance. It has its strengths. It’s especially nice with Oh My Posh running in Windows Terminal.

    I prefer to rebase as well. But when you’re working with a team of amateurs who don’t know how to use a VCS properly and never update their branc with the parent branch, you end up with lots of conflicts.

    I find that for managing conflicts, rebase is very difficult as you have to resolve conflicts for every commit. You can either use rerere to repeat the conflict resolution automatically, or you can squash everything. But when you’re dealing with a team of Git-illiterate developers (which is VERY often the case) you can either spend the time to educate them and still risk having problems because they don’t give a shit, or you can just do a regular merge and go on with your life.

    Those are my two cents, speaking from experience.











  • I used to be like you. I had passion for what I was doing. Then I got my first job.

    Companies will suck your soul and your passion right out of you. Or sometimes you’ll find a job where you can actually exercise your passion, but you’ll have a shit boss that’ll make you feel bad the whole time you’re doing it.

    It’s really hard to find that one golden nugget of a job where your can do what you love and be treated right.
