Disagree hard. I’ve been given so many garbage gifts that I immediately threw away or donated. I tell my family members to just do cash or gift cards for me. I’d rather get exactly what I need than some junk I’ll never use.

And no, I’m not “shifting goalposts”. A senior should be able to use their VCS to elevate their development powers. I wouldn’t expect a junior to know that, but I would expect them to learn it from seniors and in their practice.
As a senior you not only should understand how to stash local changes and handle merge conflicts, but also generally use your VCS to elevate your development ability. Finding who added a bug and when with cherry picking. Retroactivity applying changes to all of history with rebasing and branching. All of this git provides if you put in the effort to learn it, and more. It’s an incredibly powerful tool, and to not use its capabilities is simply a waste.
Your “reclone the repo and start again” case is a lot of wasted effort. You could use one or two quick commands to undo your changes. Your ignorance at how the tool works doesn’t undermine its value or purpose.
I’d expect a senior to not only be able to handle these cases, but also show interesting other tools in git and when they’re useful. I wouldn’t expect a senior to not be able to handle simple conflict resolution.
If he’s been doing as well as he claims, he can sit on his hands for a few months and start slow rolling his work.
I get that it’s mainly owned by a Brazilian company now, and quality has gone to all hell, but it will probably always be a part of Canadiana due to its history.
The glass was never the real issue. It’s a sign for the relationship going off the rails. Not a sign that the author should just put the glass away blindly. It might be a sign that the author can listen more. Or it could be a sign that the woman doesn’t love him enough, or frankly isn’t capable, of letting the little things go. The glass is just the tip of the iceberg.
Sounded like the wife was the one with the issue. And it doesn’t sound like the problem really was over a glass on the counter at the root of it.
I can’t think of a better goal than to be with somebody so compatible that you have minimal friction and minimal issues.
People have different ways of communicating. I actually like getting to know my coworkers and appreciate a little fluff in my conversations. Heck, if you can make me laugh with a sassy story or a funny pun, you get brownie points and priority.
This author sounds like the type of asshole that says “I’m not here to make friends, I’m not here to be nice to you, I’m here to trade my time for money only, so go to hell.” AKA an entitled asshole.
By the way, I found the “figure out my problems and solve them” line very rich. Every morning we have a standup where my manager tells me what his main concerns are and then I change my priority of work to keep his stress (and thus mine) low on whatever the new issue is. That’s generally how managers and employees work. You’re probably doing something very wrong or are very green if you don’t know what your managers chief stressors and concerns are, because I have no idea how you’d manage your work properly otherwise.
I’m talking about a simple, non intrusive way of testing someone’s mental health without talking to them. That stills seems far off on the horizon. Maybe some MRI research might be able to take us into the future in that regard.
Stopping someone from spreading ignorance and hate is not censorship. That’s not what one imagines when they think of censorship. This is not stopping someone from saying things arbitrarily.
No, having quality spam and fraud filtering, and quality security, that you host yourself, is by far the much harder problem. I would argue that outsourcing your email to Proton or Tutanota is not running your own "artisanal" email server. By the way, even with those email providers, I still have terrible spam and fraud emails getting through filters that I never would have seen with my GMail.
