This seems dangerous for both the codebase and the cars around them.

A software engineer needs two jobs. Which means most people need at least 4. Or 3 if they live under a bridge.
That's startup life. Dude might be rolling in it in a couple years and it's a decision. Feel bad for the non tech workers around the bay
might be rolling in it in a couple years
Doubtful given 70-90% of startups fail.
You could work for a startup that still pays a livable wage so you don’t have to do something this reckless. That is an option.
Not sure why this is downvoted. It's a lifestyle choice that is a genuine choice. You don't have to live in SF if it's not for you.
Yeah I don't get it. You can also work for established companies where you get steady income instead of volatile stocks but you're not going to be able to retire super early with a work life balance that way
Exactly. I got a drive by downvote which is a shame. Some people are in a situation where they're happy to take a risk, and know that if it fails they won't be destitute, and sometimes you might be paid more to account for the risk. Or less, but you get stock options to account for the risk. They're all valid options as long as you're not forced into it.
Do NOT let me do this, I will actually be rage-merging on the road. "LFGTM 😡" bypass branch protection rules
It's worth mentioning that this guy and the "Uber driver" works in the same company
don't merge and drive
I’m not sure if that is impressive or terrifying.
Ok, obviously merging while you merge is super dangerous. Almost as dangerous as using light mode on your phone. The rider should've known he was a sociopath just from that.
Hey, I prefer light mode. There are dozens of us!
Nothing in life really prepares you for meeting such an unfathomable being...
It’s mind blowing but there are people who really do prefer it! Don’t forget to leave an optional light mode for them!
20 years ago, everything was light mode.
Anyway, I have it set to time of day, so it switches between the two
Somebody tell that dude that having a "bus factor" doesn't mean you should actively seek getting run over by a bus!
Science fiction or San Francisco?
This is a concept known as CAC (configuration as code) - the driver made changes to the route, making the change visible, reversible, safe, auditable and testable. It's also great for the PRs merged per day metric!
man i hate those stupid phone holder thingys so much
You know those motorised lifts they install in old peoples homes to help them get upstairs?
Those things drive me up the fucking wall.
They're good for holding a phone for mapping and the like, where you don't touch the phone
A Personal Record?
A Public Relations?
Pull Request. You are in Programmer humor.
Whats a programmer?
Outside this community: someone who programs computers.
In this community: no one has any fucking idea how to answer that.
What's a humor?
My wife had a labmate in grad school submit a paper on a comedy robot, and a reviewer noted "the authors mention humor several times but never define the concept."
It's one of four liquids, sometimes vapors, that humans have to keep in balance or else they get black bileosis
so he updated his script, or fixed a bug while driving, right?
Someone else wrote some code, and he reviewed it and approved it, and merged it into the codebase.
Oh I would hope not, it's good practice to not let the person writing the code merge it in, to get a fresh pair of eyes on the code before it goes in.
Though in a way you could say he "fixed a bug" by merging a bugfix written by somebody else, but that feels like a failure of attribution.
