It's a great device even if your job isn't music production. Easy to use, lots of fun, though I didn't enjoy the form factor.
When I had no understanding of what was going on, I didn't like it either. Now that I use it frequently, I understand it better, so I don't hate it anymore.
I like running `git rebase <main-branch>`, where <main-branch> is typically master, in my-new-thing branch because it lets me deal with any conflicts from upstream one by one.
I also like running `git rebase -i` in my-new-thing when I have a bunch of commits with redundant messages that I want squashed into a single commit before I push the changes. Basically anything that requires messing around with a range of commits is a good use case for `git rebase -i`.
Why do you hate it so much? There's really not much going on that you should have to hate. To me it's like a bunch of small, compartmentalized merges.
That's because if they mess up the first time people can die.
I'm guessing the likelihood of death due to a bug in most web applications is probably much less than that of a bridge :)
Software is great because it's possible to iterate quickly. But ultimately, you have a point. Developers should be willing to fix bugs they've created and/or come across in their projects. We should also try to limit the potential of bugs by releasing small chunks of functional work as often as possible. "Releasing" in this sense can mean to production or just to your qa/test/dev/stage environment. It's just important to have many eyes on the product before it's live.

project_root/sites/example.com.a
project_root/sites/example.com.b
project_root/sites/example.com.a.123
project_root/sites/example.com.a.234
Create these directories. Add a settings.php file to each. Add stuff to sites.php if needed. example.com.a and example.com.b should definitely work. Not too sure about the other two because I haven't created a site in a multi-site setup that is 2 subdirs deep, but it is easy enough to try.
You may also need to symlink the subdirectories (e.g. a) in project_root. See "Subdirectory multi-site" here: https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site
capslock remapped to ctrl jw for escape in vim
jw is convenient if capslock is used as a control key. I had to pay attention to what I was doing in a vim file in order to remember what I had escape mapped to :)
Is there a way to do this with the staging area? o.O

When you're making tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in your 20s, why would you want to do something different?
Also, have you actually gone into record stores and previewed records before buying them? I may purchase this record player[1] as a way to check out records at the store, but I wasn't sure if this was a thing store owners typically allow. Any insight?
