This is actually a reasonable workflow. Although requires some preparation. I’ll try it out!

I also branch out, and rebase. Also, keep updating and rebasing until merged. It’s tedious when PR take ages for approval, as I keep creating new branches on top of each other.

So, when I saw this announcement seemed interesting but don’t see the point of it yet.

Can we start appreciating and respecting other people's professional experiences without dismissing and criticising them?

It's well written and brought to light a very interesting subject, e.g. "Marshall’s research showed that just 15-20% of riflemen in active combat positions ever fired their weapons".

Gosh, this title said everything...

So good that I feel that it is not necessary to read the article!

To be honest, GitHub actions made a big impact at a time when every other CI framework sucked, really badly. Maybe today, others are much better than they used to be!

Killing ourselves working, to pay huge amounts in taxes for this?

Next 30 years? You are probably clueless about taxes here.

I agree, it’s hard to believe. Hopefully the original comment author can share one of those questions.

Fear of missing out, network effect, etc.

I personally never opened an account, do remember seeing ex-colleagues exaggerating their job descriptions, titles, etc It looks quite fake to me. But I wonder what could have happened to me if I had an account 10, 15 and 18 years ago.

New comment by heldrida in "GitHub no longer uses Toasts"

heldrida — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 23:04:00 +0000

No, it's different. A "toast" is a floating element, a "push notification" which is detached from the panel, e.g. can disappear quite quickly. The banner is placed closest to the context where the action is triggered, e.g. might require the user to close it. If you have some disability, e.g. cognitive, visual or motor, it's likely to be easier to perceive the information. When a user creates an "issue", the "issue item" is displayed in the list, meaning that you won't need a secondary notification process.

Do you really need React Server Conponents or even Server Side Rendering?

I agree, they seem to have never tried it at all! Bun DX is the best, and Bun is the trend setter. Others are just catching up!

Any project repository where I'm the original author, the default branch is the "develop" branch. Let's move on!

Maybe there are people higher up with a lot of money who force these features. At the end of the day, the builders have the obey.

Film is magical. We should preserve and incentivise it.
