Loved big these tech giants before, because I believed they were the only way to bring trust. Now I see them as bugs to fix, since trust can be done in a p2p way.
Amazing story, love it. Yes it's all about building wonderful things. I've been doing one screencast per week since 2011, I have to say it's really really lots of fun.
I think I am now easily annoyed when people trying to hide complexity from me, and their creature does not work out of the box. Which makes it really hard to fix bugs. And just think how cumbersome it is to overwrite all the variables to get a new navbar look!
So now I think I prefer some https://github.com/styleguide/css stuff, plus some really easy to use widgets with good design taste stuff.
After 6 month joy and pain, I finally give up using Bootstrap.
It's very obvious that smart people are using BS to build cool site like khanacademy, it's well designed, and it's one of the best CSS framework you can find. But...
But for a CSS beginner like me, it's a bit too magical, I wasted a lot of time debugging, I wished I could conquer the complexity, so I tried for 6 months, and now I give up with regret.
Bootstrap(or maybe I should say CSS frameworks) is slowing down my development for the past 6 month or so, if you are a front-end newbie, be warned!
Don't care if it's JS or anything, as long as programming, or as I love to say, crafting is taught at schools, it will be great.
First of all, Making money by creating beautiful and useful things is such a good lifestyle.
Secondly and more importantly, it's about how to be better educated. Back to the years when I was at schools, I was told taking exams are of top importance, everything I learned seemed so boring. Things changed when I was 20sth, and I started to make things, that's when I really start to love knowledge, be it art, writing, music, because everything now starts to make sense.
Back to JS, there is no better place than the web to meet smart people, show them what you make, have fun and be cool. So JS, why not?
In my daily workflow, a feature branch is there on the server mostly for it's part of a already-sent pull request. So in this case, do a syncing does not make any sense.
For a feature branch from my local clone, I do love to sync with upstream/master as often as I can, but I can do it quickly and knowingly(rebase or merge) with command line.
So for me, thanks but no thanks.
But I do know a lot people use the remote feature branch as a tmp backup of the WIP feather branch, in this case, the fact that you can quickly sync with upstream/master does help, but what if you click "sync branch" and merge conflicts happen?
The fact that now I can, on other people's computer, type gist.github.com/my_username, show people all my snippets, makes my day! Thx guys, you've always been so thoughtful.
Yes, and this is really exciting news.
Soon one day, publishing a video is as easy as publishing a img, the world will be then a more open and free place.
I will encourage people to build their own online fame, then the daily work they do, they are not only doing it for the company, but also for their personal honor, thus they will be more willing to produce good work even maybe that means some extra work.
I see a far better society where individuals are respected more.
