I've been using Fork: https://git-fork.com/ because of its 2 primary advantages over SourceTree: • Dark mode • Tabs

I thought SourceTree had a dark mode? Although perhaps this was a somewhat recent addition.

Looks neat but no Linux version again :( There are 2 things I miss the most when developing under Linux and they are Sharex and Sourcetree. Smartgit is alright but not as good as the latter.

OT but considering Jetbrains stuff works on Linux there isn't much to miss except a decent git GUI but do you miss anything else? I just don't find the benefit of using Linux for development.

Ability to use proper shell (and env) for dev tasks and build scripts is the main benefit for me.

Sharex is the other thing I mentioned, its screenshots/screenrecords on steroids, check it out.

Sourcetree has tabs.

I used MapTiler to generate a graph of the largest connected nodes on the Disqus network: http://webrender.net/disqus-universe/

Found it fast and easy to use. Couldn't believe how difficult it would have been to render the tiles otherwise.

worth noting that the Transit app already aggregates all the options you mentioned, although it redirects to each respective app for payment.

These numbers seem low, based on both anecdotal evidence, and compared to Hired's 2018 tech salaries map: https://hired.com/state-of-salaries-2018

I could be wrong, but I believe WordPress' sharing features are built to share your WordPress posts out to other social networks - this tool is made to do the opposite, to take your posts from other forms of social media and import them as posts on your blog. I don't believe WordPress has that native capability - although it's worth noting that IFTTT natively supports posting to WordPress and other social networks as an action. Previously, my site was on Tumblr and I used IFTTT's Tumblr actions in a similar manner.

In my opinion, the primary advantage Github Pages has over a CMS like Wordpress is simplicity and lack of cruft. WordPress is an extremely powerful tool, but 95% of blogs, mine included, don't need the features that WP provides - and more importantly, the added code and serving overhead that comes with it.

When I've done WordPress development in the past, a lot of customization can be done on the theme level but sometimes you need to adjust the model around which a page is served and it can become confusing and complex with WP's expansive codebase. With Jekyll, it's easy to see every file and how those files combine to create my site pages. It's also easy to serve locally and I can rest assured that Github will build my site in the same manner as it's being built locally.

Finally, I would assert that I have much finer control over my source using Github Pages compared to WordPress - my site, in its native form, is literally a repository which I can move and rebuild on any number of platforms without any backend configuration. And that same repository is automatically open-sourced and built on Github without my having to maintain a build system. I never have to worry about migrating a database, I never have to worry about plugin updates breaking my page, and I never need to worry about PHP vulnerabilities compromising my data. When I look at Github Pages, I feel like GH really managed to abide by KISS principles, saying "what is the MVP for a blogging platform" and providing that in a clean & performant manner.

There's a couple different reasons I ended up going with this solution for my site:

1) Most of the time, integrating social networks into your site means either a) using widgets that are hard to work into the main site flow or b) having a backend to pull and integrate social media posts for you. This solution essentially provides B without needing to maintain a backend.

2) When planning my site refactor, Github Pages appealed to me because of its speed and simplicity. This lets me preserve the site automation that would previously have required a CMS, and because the site is static and hosted by Github, I don't need to worry about bandwidth or usage limits.

I negotiated with my company to count my commuting time as work time, since my bus is not crowded and I can always get on my laptop and work with a hotspot. So in a sense you could say I make money while commuting because it counts towards my working hours. I also get part of my afternoon back :)

Off topic, but how did you do that? Did you ask after having proven you got work done? Or did you bring it up at the initial interview?

I'm not commuting anymore, but when I used to, I would try to get some work done on the train, and if I did, go home earlier without feeling bad about it. We didn't track time at that job.

At my current company I can clock in via VPN and book time on whatever I'd work on, wherever I am. As long as I tell my superior that I won't be at the office, and as long as I don't have any meetings during that time, he's fine with it. I've committed to deadlines already, and if I don't meet them, he's in trouble, but so am I, so he trusts me.

Your last paragraph, I feel, is focusing too much on the individual, direct contribution and ignoring the effect a person staying at home can have on their family. By taking care of their auxilliary needs and letting them focus on their core tasks (work, school, etc.), the increase in productivity of the family as a whole can exceed that of a direct individual's contribution. I think of it as a project manager for the family - they don't directly contribute to the development of a project, but they handle the overhead that would otherwise thrash their developers.

It sounds like that's what the 'pubs' mentioned in the article are for: https://github.com/staltz/easy-ssb-pub
