I'm never sure what to name my remotes in git. I tend to use 'mine' so I can add other forks later, but sometimes I use 'gh' or the traditional 'origin'. What do others use?

I find it fascinating how some businesses have scheduled downtime for their websites (e.g. my electricity provider last weekend), but others don't. I suspect it's primarily culture. You generally need to turn off electricity to do work, so your other tooling may reflect that.

I find it really interesting how some areas of tech are widely expected to improve radically (e.g. LLMs and smart home tech), others gradually (CPU speed, battery capacity) and others very slowly (e.g. compiler optimisations). Predicting the future is hard.
