  • I recently drove eight hours on a trip. It’s brutal, but you’ll be fine.

    • download offline maps on your phone
    • get lots of music, podcasts, and things to keep entertained
    • stop every few hours to stretch your legs, use the bathroom, and maybe get something to eat
    • be aware of your route. Think about where you can stop. Be ready for construction and other unexpected delays.
    • check your tire pressure before you leave (especially the spare!)
    • make sure you have basic stuff like a jack and jumper cables
    • make sure you have your license, insurance, and registration
    • if you can afford it, dashcams are nice to have




  • Recently switched to a new contract, which resulted in me switching from IDEA Ultimate to vscode. This picture is terribly accurate.

    In intellij I usually do code reviews by checking out the code and comparing the branch to origin/main to step through the changes. Just a right click menu option to compare branches.

    I took for granted that this is just a thing IDEs should do, so I looked in vain for a while before googling it and finding out I need a plugin for that. (If I’m wrong please help me find the button, I still believe it must be in there somewhere. Surely the owners of GitHub can compare branches?)
