@b4ux1t3 *three reply drafts aggressively redacted on the stern advice of my lawyer*

I hope that the eventuality of this problem solving itself happens quickly and does not negatively affect you in the process

@stenpett that's fantastic. Well worth some pride.

@hoagie that is a damn fine accomplishment.

@scherzog ❤️

Of course you can aim higher. It doesn't feel like the glory days of early computerization where a week in the server closet can change the world, but there are still a million ways we can make things work better in the large and in the small.

But you can do a lot of good by doing the basics really well. People will thank you for it, sincerely, because it's more than many folks contribute. You can set a good example, you can hold out a helping hand; you can prove it's not a zero-sum game.

If all you do in your tech career is:

1. When something is slow, you look carefully at the output of a profiler or a query plan & make measured suggestions about what to improve;

2. When something breaks badly, you gently but insistently ask what & why until you truly know, then the next time similar work is needed you bring up how to avoid doing what broke last time; and

3. When someone lacks info, you make them feel good for learning instead of bad for not knowing;

You will do good work.

@sundogplanets I have a completely unhinged suggestion

@kim personal experience lines up with your numbers.

Not "Atlassian laid off 1,600 people, 10% of its workforce"

But rather: "Atlassian leadership, with 300,000+ paying customers & ~5.2 billion USD in revenue & 6+ billion USD in assets in 2025, failed to line up their financial projections with their own staffing projections, and acted to place the burden of this gap on their direct reports rather than leadership, executive compensation packages, assets, or shareholders"

Layoffs should be personally mortifying. Boards should change.

For shame.

@Gargron holy cow. That's one for the history books, in all seriousness.

@mcc happy birthday. I hope it's a really good one this year.

@gumnos @pmjv @dexter TIM.

those three years of Latin in high school back in 1917 really stuck with me eh

@lw @lattera shallow clones are quite a bit more expensive to compute than full clones (e.g. ¹). Homebrew was directly asked by GitHub to stop using shallow clones because of the load this created². However I don't know of any reason why SSH clones should be speedy while HTTPS ones are slow, that's quite odd and possibly a clue.

Do you happen to have any more verbose logs? E.g. with GIT_TRACE=1 or ³?

@ratsnakegames @mcc it's an extra $20 but it might be worth buying it directly from WD
