Wow, after reading your story, my ragequit is peanuts in comparison. I almost don't feel like posting it! Normally I'm a lot more humble than this, but you're all strangers on the Internet, so you'll just have to take my word for it, but... I had performed extremely well at my software development job. "Exceeds expectations" kind of performance review. I had led the architecture of several large efforts, and consistently delivered features. Promotion time comes around, and I get a 3% raise. Eh, whatever. At least it meets inflation. I find out a bit later that one of my coworkers (quite talented in her own right, don't get me wrong) got a title increase and a much more meaningful salary bump. So I talk to my manager about why she was promoted and I wasn't. We both had similar performance reviews, had led similar projects, and so on. I was prepared to accept it if there was a good reason. There wasn't. There was only budget room for one promotion, and she had been hired at a more senior position than me, though I had been promoted to match soon after I started. That's it. No logical reason other than seniority. I was butthurt, and started looking for a new job right away. Ended up snagging a great gig in a few weeks. I keep in touch with my old co-workers quite regularly, and I guess some activist investor forced through policy changes and gutted the satellite office I worked at. I guess I dodged a bullet there.

They aren't using git as a database, they're using it as revision history. The database is whatever they decide to store in git. For crates.io, for example, they use JSON files in directories. If you put an sqlite database in git, you are wouldn't say "git is the database", and that's true here too. That said, yeah, you shouldn't roll your own database. Take your source code (JSON from crates.io) from git, and compile it into an sqlite file (for example) for download.

If you have a small list, use a small basket. It's way easier to over-shop with a cart.

It's all so clear now! Explains why I wanted to be a spy as a kid I guess.

You'd get laughed off of FurAffinity if you expect to pay _after_ completion.

Is Netflix evil these days?

I've been living car-free for six months (because I was too lazy to put on my winter tires), and am quite happy because of it.

If you like the art style, I think this is from The New Batman Adventures. Or maybe one of the movies from that era. Mark Hamill is _the_ best joker.

Huh, I hadn't heard about that! Honestly seems useful, and if it's only the engine, I don't see how crypto bros are relevant. If there's some "pay to unblock" scheme, that's a different story.

What are they doing with cryptocurrency now?

How much of what works? That’s impressive.
