Match Of The Day

Because it’s cool.

Conflict resolution

A lot of irony is supposed to be deadpan anyway (e.g. something like okmatewanker is pretty heavily ironic), but I get people not picking it up because they’re not in the same cultural context.

SVN is fine for most corporate workflows. Your project is probably not anything like Linux.

You need a USB C “Power Ctrl+Z” key. Unlike the regular Ctrl+Z key one of these bad boys is capable of reversing edits across system reboots until as far back as when you originally plugged it in.

At uni I did a lot of my Java coursework in notepad, then I’d have to take it into a computer lab on a floppy, tar it and upload it to a unix terminal so it could be emailed to the professor. Java syntax with only the command line compiler is not fun.

“I store my records on vinyl. You’ve probably never heard of them.”

I also think about this a lot.
