• My Personal Serverless Rust Developer Experience. It’s Better Than You Think

  Finally, I didn't mention source code control. That topic is very personal to people. I don't tend to use my IDE for managing Git. I like to use something external that gives me a "best-in-breed" solution. That tool for me is Fork. I've shared this tool before, but never in an article.

In my firm, even with people who don't know how to code, they can use github desktop (since it... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?

  - Product designers for open-source hardware. Various design files, SVG etc. I’ve experimented with a “GUI only” git flow - just to see what is possible, so I could introduce the concept to others. I found GitHub desktop app (https://desktop.github.com/)did a great job of visually showing git flows and functions, but for a non-tech/programmming person, the tool would be daunting. Curiosity what your suggested tech... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
