  • subs will get about three to four hours of thousands of updoots and comments and then get nuked by the mods

    This was a tactic made common by Gallowboob. He would do this on every major sub he moderated, but with even more nastiness.

    He’s post, wait to see if it got enough upvotes, if it did not he’d delete and repost. Constantly. Until his posts got to the top.

    He did this across many of the largest subredddits and turned it into a paid job where he’d advertise for others using this same patterns.

    Even worse, he’d delete others posts if they were doing too well too quickly and repost as his own.

    Dude is one of the pillars of what destroyed Reddit.








  • Right here, brother.

    I use the right tool for the job, always. If all I need is to push a branch, then I’d rather use a UI that quickly shows me the changes in a nice diff layout. If I’m doing a pull request review and want to run it locally, I select the branch, pull, and go.

    That said, when there are conflicts or tricky merges, or I want to squash a bunch of commits, anything like that, I’ll use the CLI.

    It’s not about being above GitHub desktop or being an enlightened CLI user. It is about using the tool that is needed.

    I’ve only been writing and releasing software for 15 years, what do I know.

    That said, use whatever workflow fits you best! If that’s your hands never leaving the keyboard, rock on! If you instead write code like you’re playing an FPS, enjoy! We all do this because we like it, right? 😊
