daosyn··on How to teach Git
Just yesterday I attempted to explain to my colleagues (who have been mainframe developers all their life) the concept of having multiple remote repositories and different possible setups. I think I explained adding remote repositories well enough, and mentioned the use cases for such a setup -- having only read access from a repository and needing to develop in a fork while keeping up to date with the original.

Does anyone have a good analogy for this? I think they understood for the most part, but explaining things better is something I have been really trying to improve on in the workplace lately.

daosyn··on Envy in the Tech Sector
Can envy be a good thing sometimes? I have felt it a lot recently but it was only a means to motivate me to look for other opportunities outside of the company. It made me realize that I am not looking for a better paying position, but a more interesting one that will better foster my growth.
