Taking this to the extreme, I think most lessons represent sunset or dead projects. There's no sweet illusions anymore. No assumptions. No ego. No account for infinite flexibility. No shine. No excitement of a new thing. No holy wars. No astronaut architects. Only you, the ruins and the truth.
What's wrong with just deleting the whole folder and clone repo and whatever branch you're interested in? In any case it's not an urgent thing. You don't have to do this mid-work, you can wait until you push most stuff and then rm && git clone.
The only case in which this wouldn't work is when you have a ton of necessary local branches you can't even push to remote, which is a risk and anti-pattern per se.
doesn't your precious stash deserve an external folder or remote branch, in any case? the local repo is always a risk, so many things can ruin it.
also, you only need to clean up like once a year, it's by definition a rare operation. A ton of branches doesn't grow overnight.
In addition to the already mentioned stash, which I often have stuff in for months, there is also all the commits not reachable from any branch and all the history of any branch I ever created. Throwing all that away would be quite a disruptive change for me.
I don't know, I've always thought that junior problem was mostly non-technical, kids issues: overconfidence, love for shortcuts, sense of entitlement, arrogance, lack of communication and respect of colleagues, including fellow juniors and seniors, aversion to holy wars, lack of compromise and team discipline, disrespect to existing solutions, laziness in following-up post-delivery, negligent edge case checking, being opinionated about tooling, languages and whatnot.
Very little of this can be fixed with AI, and many things can be easily amplified.
I mean, one junior with AI vs one senior with AI might yield comparable results, but seven juniors with AI vs seven seniors with AI should fail pretty fast.
my impression was not that most people like their SUVs, they're just don't trust other people and don't follow the conventions. While on the micro level Americans follow the conventions much more seriously than Europeans (starting from tips and down to formal office rules) and love spending time discussing those conventions, on the higher level, with risk or high stakes involved, all the conventions go out of window, and the people fall back to guns, litigators, SUVs, suburban houses in the middle of nowhere, and other ways of self-isolation and atomization.
Soccer vs american football is another visible example.
having moved to us after 30 yrs of European experiences I would walk a lot in small and big East Cost cities. In the first year I was barely hit at least 3 times - once on the right turn with no lights (the driver only checked the left), once on the right turn red light (lack of my information so it's allowed in US), and once just when somebody went out of underground parking while talking to their phone.
After that I learned never cross a road without making the eye contact with the upcoming driver.
Nevertheless, there had been a few episodes in the following years.
sorry, my question is not that much of a legal side, there's plenty of info around - it's rather about identifying jobs which are open to this. Most HRs and hiring managers just ignore the applications which openly state - "I'm not on US soil".
