@danderson @mawhrin @phire lol, oof

@phire oh, god, they concatenated things and then truncated before hashing

@skinnylatte This makes a lot of sense to me. A counterpoint to AI hype for me has been to start noticing all the ways I love interacting with people, even when it's frustrating or difficult

@rain @whitequark for me, "I obsessively only share changes I've carefully added" is a big part of my workflow
git add -p is my jam

@hrefna Similar. I say lesbian because I figure it communicates the right thing mostly.

I've had a couple conversations about software accessibility this month that I realize are specifically around not physical disability but neurodivergence and cognitive differences

For example, I tend to have a need to be able to see the entire logic and contents of something -- I become very flustered by hidden layers I don't know how to easily see or visual metaphors I don't yet have familiarity with

This has affected my abilities with:
- spreadsheets
- video games
- IDEs

@endocrimes @rain @ellie That's mostly my feeling, having casually looked at jj tutorials
I think https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/git-comparison.md finally explains a lot in a way that's meaningful to me

The "everything is already committed" approach makes me feel uneasy, I guess "jj split" mostly achieves my usual workflow, but I often have more changes than I'm ready to put in a particular commit as I sort out what I'm doing

Things in computing I stayed away from for the longest time because of exclusionary attitudes:

- security
- game dev, graphics programming
- Linux kernel dev
- almost anything where it was "dudes showing off how much better they are"

I'm glad people are calling out the toxic behavior of one of the rather unpleasant men in tech, but I wish y'all had started doing that decades earlier, when the toxic and exclusionary attitudes that filtered down from those figures were affecting the experiences a much younger version of myself (and others) were having learning computer stuff for the first time

"I'm a generalist and good at thinking about systems!"
No, bitch, you can't focus

@ryanc I only do that on branches where I'm doing development by myself

But more often lately I'll just have fixup commits 4 deep

@aarbrk Your comment makes me realize why I find them especially mismatched with my desires -- I'm really swimming upstream, presently in a phase of getting my ADHD treated and diving into areas of computer-related learning/work that demand less fast information and more patient, rigorous mathematical proof

(And I resent the idea that the other mode of thought is better)

I see people enthusiastic about LLM-based text summarization tools, and then I try them and I'm confused how I'm supposed to find them beneficial to either my comphrension or the calmness in my life

Skimming large amounts of text is something I've learned to be very good at... trading that (small) effort for having to trust the LLM didn't make errors which will cause me to take incorrect actions just feels more exhausting and stressful
