    I disagree.

    Be…before I go. Could you approve all my experimental PRs?

    Real story, I have a branch that’s been open for four years at my company to add support for nested postgres transactions. It works flawlessly… but we, the senior devs, are uncertain if it’s a power that would be used responsibly by the juniors. If I’m going to walk into the light, I’m going to make sure there’s a badass explosion behind me.

      I’ve got one for a vscode feature (middle mouse click for go-to definition) that I want but the maintainers don’t think it would be used.

        I’m in the niche of niches by using vsc with a vim plugin while being a dvorak user. I rely on vim’s langmap feature to get anywhere, but people implementing vim emulators blissfully ignore accessibility like that. So I went and implemented langmap in vsc’s vim plugin myself. It has minimal intervention into the existing codebase and a bunch of other people have been wishing for this for years. Yet, when it comes to merging… Silence.

          Can’t you just open source your fork? I mean yeah it does suck but still. I’ve been in the same place and it does suck when they won’t take your PR.

    You haven’t written your unit tests and you have 675 compiling errors left. It’s time to sleep grandpa

    That’s why I’ve got my IDE configured to make a commit and push for every single ctrl-s.

    And one more thing, I’m not going to squash before my final PR.

    EDIT:

    For those of you interested, here’s my gitconfig alias to help with this workflow:

    [alias]
        ctrl-s-commit-push="!f() { count=$(cat count.txt); git add .; git commit -m \"$(date): commit $count\"; git push;}; f"
    

    IMPORTANT: For those who are downvoting, yes, my entire comment is sarcasm, lol! Do not ever do anything like this in a shared repo, ever! If you actually do this in a shared repo, your access will likely be revoked the moment someone sane and competent realizes what you’re doing.

    Addendum: In that alias, I would’ve used left angle bracket instead of cat, but apparently lemmy scrubs those. I even tried the entity for it, but no go for either.
