30 days on a Raspberry Pi

Earlier last month, however, I decided to give again the Pi a spin. Just to blow the dust from the top and see how it was doing, nothing really serious. Fast forward to now, and I have just completed a streak of over 4 weeks of using nothing but my Raspberry Pi as my personal computer. That is: 4 weeks of using it for everything including full browsing, messaging, and even work-related stuff - and I have absolutely no intentions to stop using it!

Make Atomic Git Commits

We’ve all been there: You worked on lots of changes at once, some of which didn’t have anything in common. For the sake of convenience, you decided to lump all of these changes into a single commit and call it a day. But while this may seem tempting, it could actually cause more problems down the line. Bigger commits can:

1. Obfuscate the source of bugs or regressions in the future.
2. Make it difficult to revert undesired changes without also reverting desired ones.
3. Make larger tickets more overwhelming and difficult to manage.

I’ve recently developed a habit of making atomic commits to keep my work more manageable; I recommend that you give this a try to see if it works for you.

In the evening I finished Righteous Prey by John Sandford. I liked the story a lot: a real page turner; recommended.
