I was planning to make pulled pork the next day. That evening I set up the Weber kettle, got out the bag of charcoal and some chunks of apple wood, and laid everything out. Mise en place , as they say. I’d be waking up at 7am the next morning to light it up, and I didn’t trust my sleepy self to remember everything.

My definition in this context isn’t about the library’s functionality being stupidly trivial or even necessarily simple. I’m talking…

The single most important criteria when replacing GitHub
I could write a lot of things about the Github acquisition by Microsoft. About Github's embrace and extend of git, and how it passed unnoticed by people who now fear the same thing now that Microsoft is in the picture.
