is reflog very unfriendly UI? what would make it better?

Read this and maybe you'll think of some useful questions to ask related to problems they may be able to directly fix.

I'd use logger that prints the file and line number when logging, to avoid the question of: "where is the log coming from"

My first real brush was taking part in GSOC, Google Summer of Code, where I got paid to work on an open source project.

Communication with my project mentor was over IRC and I felt this was a fairly large hurdle for me at the time, learning the lingo and the etiquette.

My project at the time went quite poorly. I attribute this failure mostly to myself. I was unable to wake up at the time my mentor wanted to meet and he became frustrated. My work quality was ok, but not the best.

It turned out I had undiagnosed medical issue (DPSD & ADHD); but it's probably a cop out to attribute all of the failure to just that. I got halfway through the thing meaning I got paid still a pretty sizeable sum for the work I did. But it never got commited, so I feel like I cheated slightly. I feel very bad for my mentor who was trying his best, but I was not very good about communicating back then.

Since then, I've attended FOSDEM, contributed small stuff, and even done stuff on some pretty popular projects. But have never been "in" a community like I was then. IRC still scares me. But I do intend to join when I find something I'm really passionate about.

It's an algorithm question. If somebody gave me your solution in an interview I would ask them to solve the problem without a dependency. These questions are about demonstrating your ability to code whilst understanding space & time complexity.

Can you list ones you found valuable?

Postfix wasn't in my university degree, nor do I think it should be. It's useful to know about SMTP but it's like saying you need to know the history of brick manufacturing to be a material engineer.

I hate go templating, I really really do. I don't even really know why. I just hate it.

Big hot take to me; especially in an organization with a large size and code high standard

Want to explain your rational?

Goodharts Law applies here - "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes"

I do these stretches that Day9 talked about very regularly. I used to play some Starcraft 2 but the habit stuck.
