The New Jersey style (aka "Worse is Better") a model of software design and implementation which has the characteristics (in approximately descending order of importance):

Simplicity: The design must be simple, both in implementation and interface. It is more important for the implementation to be simple than the interface. Simplicity is the most important consideration in a design.
Correctness: The design should be correct in all observable aspects. It is slightly better to be simple than correct.
Consistency: The design must not be overly inconsistent. Consistency can be sacrificed for simplicity in some cases, but it is better to drop those parts of the design that deal with less common circumstances than to introduce either complexity or inconsistency in the implementation.
Completeness: The design must cover as many important situations as is practical. All reasonably expected cases should be covered. Completeness

pkg/errors

Our incident.io pkg/errors, as explained in:

You can use an unexported package variable pointing to the time.Now function.

var (
    timeNow   = time.Now
    timeAfter = time.After
)

Secret Management

Kubernetes is un-opinionated about how secrets are managed. There's many ways to do it and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Here's some ways people are doing GitOps secrets:

Python

There are two ways you could go about to solve your problem

Use a static builder, like freeze, or pyinstaller, or py2exe
Compile using cython

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39913847/is-there-a-way-to-compile-a-python-application-into-static-binary

JavaScript

If you use cgo, then a lot of go module tools get really slow per golang/go#29427

For example, this is really slow:

go list -m -u all

From The 7 Types of Pull Requests:

After reading Rouan Wilsenach’s article on Ship / Show / Ask, I realized that when creating a pull request, I’m thinking about:

How can I confidently get my code out of the door?
Will my changes pass the automated CI checks?
Will my changes pass a self-review? I.e. would I approve my own PR?
Will my colleagues be able to give me good feedback?

So this gives us 7 types of pull-request:

No Pull Request / Ship

1. If you have a particular StackOverflow question such as:
