This has been my experience as well and I will probably end up paying for a tool because the free ones just don't work smoothly.


I was using SmartGit for many years and was very happy with it, until they made it subscription based and had to switch to SourceTree. It works but I do not find it very smooth at all. It hangs every now (using MacOSX) and in general the experience is not as smooth as it was with SmartGit. I am surprised that you are saying that you haven't come across any better tool.


For a few minutes after reading this I was worried about smartgit losing its way. But it seems they actually still offer perpetual single-payment licenses, where you purchase a few years of updates, usable after update period ends.


This is pure awesomeness. It made my day.


I liked the article, but I also laughed a bit because <sarcasm>it was the engineers’ fault that they didn’t rise to the occasion and skip-level to save the company!</sarcasm>


Useful, but 10 years ago without JSONB in PG it wasn't really the answer to everything. But as of today, I am recommending PG to anyone that does not have a good reason or use case to NOT use it.


This comment sums up my view as well, but I must confess that I’ve designed architectures more complex than necessary more than once, just to try new things and compare them with what I already knew. I just had to know!



I just run into this:

The dead Internet theory is a conspiracy theory which asserts that since around 2016 the Internet has consisted mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation, as part of a coordinated and intentional effort to control the population and minimize organic human activity.

Loved it. I am printing this as a booklet and placing it in my bookshelf. We should all try and listen to more experienced people more often. Even a small story from someones life can be eye opening.
