TIL: Ignoring other people's gits
Aug 10, 2026
One of the tricks that I've learned over the years is that if you're working in someone else's repo, git can be kind of annoying. Not in a bad way, but in a way where, for instance, maybe you want to keep a notes file so that you can keep track of your notes within the repo without having to pester or bother the maintainers of the repo to add your notes.md file to their .gitignore. Well, it turns out that there's a solution for that, and it's pretty damn simple: That's the setup.

TIL: Docker build target
Jul 20, 2026
neat docker trick I just learned: will pull the image by default, but build to a specific target if --build is passed or docker compose build so you can use target to stop at different places in one build context if you have like a web container, a queue container, etc.
