k_dumez··on A study of Google's code review tooling (Critique)
What do you think Gerrit is missing compared to Critique?

Graphite[0] is also similar in that space(code review platform built on GitHub), the CLI could use some work but combined with the web UI it scratches that same itch that Critique did for me

k_dumez··on A study of Google's code review tooling (Critique)
joined a startup recently whose founding team was entirely from FB (who used Phabricator internally), and Google (who used Critique internally).

They missed those code review tools so much they just rebuilt it themselves lol.

I was initially skeptical but after using it for like 3 or 4 days it's going to be hard to go back to vanilla git tbh

k_dumez··on We use AWS instead of Vercel to host our Next.js app
At my old company Vercel raised our rate by like 40% for enterprise after we had DECREASED usage. It was asinine
k_dumez··on Large pull requests slow down development
> When I make changes to a codebase that very few people are experts in and is generally perceived to be difficult to understand,

Not trying to be snarky, genuinely curious, is this a situation you find yourself in very often? Are you describing something while working at a company or in an open-source project?

> artificially minimizing PR size

Not sure I understand the "artificial" part here. There's nothing "artificial" about breaking up your larger changes into smaller PRs. It's just good practice.

Helps reviewers who are reviewing the code, and helps the author be more focused with their changes.

Even in net new feature development it's a good idea to break up your large changes to something more manageable.

Sorry if I'm not understanding, what do you believe the downside to be?

k_dumez··on 280M e-bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars
Sorry, to clarify using "walkable" as a word to encompass good public-transportation as well. I can walk to the subway, and get somewhere 6.2 miles away easily then walk to my final destination (something I do frequently).

"In the United States, a staggering 60% of all car trips cover less than 10km."

Being lucky enough to live in a walkable city (NYC) this is insane to me. The world is so car-brained.
