I recommend this book to anyone, especially in our times.

Why isn't there a #docker compose #github action?

#github gives you `services`, but if you use them, you likely have a docker-compose.yml, and then you're duplicating your dependencies.

Plus, #dependabot doesn't know how to update `services` images, so your dependencies get stale.

Got a real book for a change, “A philosophy of software design”. Somehow I missed it. Eager to read it and find out if it deserves its fame

This #year I read 48 #books. I’m so proud of myself that next year, even if I won’t read that much, I’ll still brag about it with “But last year I read 48 books!”

Have you read "The No Asshole Rule"? I think there's an analogy between being an #asshole and submitting a pull request with 12 thousand changed lines.
