People should stop using GitHub as a CDN and just clone their ad whitelist.
wildcow··on Ask HN: I hate gym. How to stay in shape?
I cycle on a hometrainer 3-4 times a week.

Oh! And i do this simple thing: 8-10 times a day i do 15 push-ups.

My new goal is to do 20 minutes of kettlebell training 2-3 times a week.

I have found out it is all about habit for me, and it being something I can just do when i want. Like: i have just done 15 push-ups on the toilet at work. When I get home, i do them when i am in the kitchen. It is hard at first, but you will soon feel the difference.

wildcow··on Stop the scroll: Muting everyone on social media can put you back in control
I did this followed later by uninstalling all social media apps. I use their webpages instead but i log out when i don't want to use it anymore, like closing a door. Really effective. I am off Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. I only open Facebook once in a while to see if my kids parent group have written anything.
wildcow··on Turn your best programmers into managers
Stop hunting programmers. Many of us actually don't care about the deadlines, the users etc. We just love to program. We don't care about stand-ups, story points or whatever the business uses to convert complexity to billable hours.

wildcow··on Apple introduces end-to-end encryption for backups
So up until now the government have had access to all your data because of the backups. This renders the e2e encryption on their different messaging platforms useless. Kind of a joke:"your convo can't be read because it is e2e encrypted, bit when we backup, we can read it".
wildcow··on Tell HN: My child's first program
This comment is my spirit animal.
wildcow··on Ask HN: How do you fix the “no longer feel” anything in tech?
I have felt exactly like that! I was a consultant for 12 years doing ecommerce. The last year was me trying to do things right but always got hammered with the "customers needs this so just do the easiest thing right get there". I hated it. I discovered that it has always been like this in that company so i decided to go look for something new: an internal IT department for a company that actually cared about its own products. My plan was simple: say yes to all offers i got through eg LinkedIn and see where it brought me. Most important thing: i minimized my efforts at my current job. I said to my self it was okay, because noe i wanted to that job that brought back: pride for doing software, had a real goal for doing quality, test and maintance and lets the devs redo parts of the system when we thought it needed it.

After one year i did find my current job. It came out of nowhere and because i just said yes to everything. Actually when i said yes to go for an interview for this company i work at now, i thought "this isn't going nowhere because this is an old company with legacy code and nothing new, but i have promised to say yes"

I landed the best job in the world. And i actually found out that the new teams they hired wasn't legacy teams but doing .NET core, k8s, docker, dapper etc. I can even install Linux on my laptop if i want to.
