I always feel like my code is the best in personal projects when I don’t need to conform to whatever style and architecture has been decided on by history and committee.

For me it's always, "this is hacky as shit, but it works, and nobody will ever see it but me."
My most arcane pieces of code (abusing null references to make the garbage collector handle object deletion kind of cursed) are usually posted publicly somewhere... If it works and all that.
Was gonna say, 1st and 2nd should be switched
Gotta review the 5 line PR ten times just to make absolutely totally sure there's nothing wrong with it before submitting it.
And then notice the spelling error.
My spelling errors only come into existence after I commit.
Just another free PR ;)
Instant commit --amend + push --force
Prefer --force-with-lease. It doesn't make a difference in this scenario, but it's a safer habit/default.
There is no reason to force push anymore - force with lease is always preferable. So said, a frequent rebaser.
Wait what is the difference between the two?
Force with lease will send up what your local thinks the most recent commit on the branch was and the host will reject the push if it knows of a more recent commit on that branch. Basically, it saves you from overwriting a commit you didn't realize existed.
Don't want to be the cause of a CVE now, do we?
I have never contributed to an open source project before, so if we exclude the third part this is the reverse of my habits. The stuff I do for work is bare minimum garbage, I freely admit. I really do not like my employer.
Aaand here's why production software is so damn buggy. I'm not faulting you personally, just your employer.
Nobody can see this -> some people can see this -> anybody can see this
Perfectly described!
I'll be honest with ya pal, all 3 of em are pic 1 for the most part
You saying the code quality of some of my colleagues is even worse on their personal projects? o_O
They probably don't even have personal projects
Hmmm... I comment a lot on Lemmy... Maybe I could be more productive commenting code 🤔
I would like to contribute to open source but I'm not confident enough or understand git properly. As solo dev I only have to fulfill my boss's standards, they seam to be low.
Yeh, for me git is a backup system.
My boss gave me a hand on some bits (more, I set up a framework and he could tweak pages). Anyway, I fixed some stuff, tidied some of his shit, then trying to get git to merge that back into his workspace REALLY stretched my knowledge of git LUL.
I'm sure doing that every day would get me up to speed, but ATM commit/push means "backup" to me
invert personal stuff and work and its me
That is very noble of you! Hats off.
