I read the first book or two series in middle school(‽) and it was pretty good, if I recall correctly this had a pretty good sibling relationship, and the only thing stopping me from finishing it was the library didn’t have the rest.

Definitely don’t just dismiss books for YA though! There’s no reason you can’t enjoy a good book because of the target audience. I still re-read my favorites all the time, and try out new books.

I’m not super stringent on commit style, but it absolutely helps to structure commit messages, especially in larger projects where they’re being worked on piecemeal.

The latter seems next to useless. What computer would you choose to power with a monitor with these specs?

2fa isn’t a panacea and won’t solve every problem. It does help though. Why do you think supply chain integrity isn’t something they care about?

So we have to spelunk through ancient scripts to find the right incantations or worse, read the code. Because who needs docs for an internal tool ammirite?

You clearly don’t use digital signatures in PDFs
