    The default branch for some projects is “production” since CD deploys on pushing to that branch

    For new projects, main. My thought is that even if master is not offensive, since the industry has generally made the change, the only reason to stick with master is stubbornness or hating political correctness, neither of which aligns with my self-view so I’ll use main and move on.

    In general if people are genuinely hurt by the use of some words, I’m not sadistic so I’ll avoid using them. From my perspective morality is the pursuit of the reduction of suffering, even if that suffering is internal.









  • My experience is every person in the US who enters the workforce and gets their first paycheck is always surprised. Since here in the us salary is given in pretax dollars, you never get the amount you’d expect for your first one.

    Otherwise, some complain scout sales tax in the us for a similar reason, especially going from a state with none to a state with a high rate



  • Finding community in the modern age requires you to get interested and participate in something specific. Specific communities are often on Discord or equivalent, for example I’m super into some very specific video games with thriving communities, into specific genres of books and have found like minded people, love chatting about specific computing topics, etc. Specialize your interests and find others who have done the same




  • Sometimes people do things they know are wrong. Beating one’s child is pretty goddamn obviously wrong.

    The irony of your post is that it would apply well to the child who indeed should be taught instead of physically abused (punished).

    But why should society let abusers decide what the abused learn when the lessons being imparted are almost always self-serving.

    We all make mistakes, we are all human, but sometimes the mistakes we make should have consequences that prevent future errors. Drive drunk? You shouldn’t have a license or a car. Shoot up a school? You shouldn’t have a gun, be near schools, or really even be in general society. Beat your child? You shouldn’t be around children


  • Nihilist, insofar that even if there is a god (about as likely as me actually being a secret agent for moon people) why would it matter? While nihilism is not a religious belief I think it fits the prompt.

    I made a poop the other day, I’m its creator, I don’t care about it, I don’t control its destiny beyond the flush.

    I’m an optimistic nihilist, nothing matters and that’s kinda neato. Existence happens, how fascinating is that? It’s absolutely meaningless just like everything in the universe, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the ride.


  • For me when somebody apologizes a lot it feels as though there is a subtle belief that I am the type of person who would be annoyed by the things being apologized for. As though their apology implies that I am an impatient or otherwise short fused person.

    It’s important to me that I am patient and forgiving so excessive apologies subtly make me feel like I may be projecting some impatience. Ironically the very activity of constant apologies does lead me to be slightly impatient, quite the conundrum.
