  • Humans also frequently need to try a wrong approach first to get the idea of a better approach, no matter if we’re rested or not. Which is why it’s important to be able to throw away prototypes rather than push an “it seemed like a good idea at the time” to prod.

    But having a good sleep, walk in a park, shower, etc lets us think better than if we’re just banging our heads in the same corner all day long. Breaks are important. General health, too.


  • The fourth … appendage on the left hand is being used like a thumb, and doesn’t have any indication of knuckle even though it’d be the most bent finger if it was one. I’d say we can see four fingers on the right hand, while the left is in an indeterminate slop state where it’s only partially a comic/Disney three-finger hand, with one extra slop appendage that’s not clearly either thumb or finger.




  • We could probably stand to have some organisation standards in repo roots, but I tend to agree that dotfiles aren’t the way to go there. The project root is similar to ~/.config and the like: When you’re there you should not be subjected to further hidden levels. Those config files are a significant part of the project.

    State files however, like all the stuff in .git, lockfiles and the like are generally¹ fine to hide away. Those are side effects of running other tools, not ordinary editable configuration. Same goes for cache—and both cache and runtime files should likely go in the ordinary XDG dirs rather than be something every project has to set up a gitignore for.

    If anything I’m more frustrated with the C projects that just plop every source file in the root directory.

    ¹ Just don’t make it too easy to sneak unexpected crap in there. We don’t need to make the next Jia Tan’s job easier.
