VSCodium Update Extensions from VS Marketplace

This script will gather the extensions currently installed for VSCodium and update them from marketplace.visualstudio.com automatically.

  • Packages defined under $SKIP are ignored.
  • Old extension folders are removed before the update is installed.

Why?

  • open-vsx.org doesn't get updated very quickly, if at all
  • it's "illegal" to use the VS Marketplace as the extension source in non-M$ products

What Hiring Should Look Like

This is definitely not the first time I've written about this topic, but I haven't written formally about it in quite awhile. So I want to revisit why I think technical-position interviewing is so poorly designed, and lay out what I think would be a better process.

I'm just one guy, with a bunch of strong opinions and a bunch of flaws. So take these suggestions with a grain of salt. I'm sure there's a lot of talented, passionate folks with other thoughts, and some are probably a lot more interesting and useful than my own.

But at the same time, I hope you'll set aside the assumptions and status quo of how interviewing is always done. Just because you were hired a certain way, and even if you liked it, doesn't mean that it's a good interview process to repeat.

If you're happy with the way technical interviewing currently works at your company, fine. Just stop, don't read any further. I'm not going to spend any effort trying to convince you otherwise.

Private files in docker container

Private files in docker container

It is sometimes necessary to have files in a container that shouldn't ever end up in an image. These files are generally some form of private key or password that aren't allowed to be distributed. This document details a few usecases for such files and their requirements.

Use Cases
