Git is my version control system of choice

-
Learning a version control system is a crucial part of any aspiring software developer. Version control systems are used by any serious software development team to keep a secure history of changes made within their product. Today, I am going to talk about my personal favorite version control system, Git. Git is a free, open source, Distributed Version Control System and it is used in many major companies such as Amazon, Google, and Intel. To be honest, if I were in an interview panel for a software development position and the interviewee said that they didn't use a version control system or didn't seem to have an interest in a certain version control system either way, I would almost immediately say that we should not hire that person. Knowing a version control system is that crucial . Showing that you have used version control shows that you've worked on projects by yourself or on a collaborative team and that you are mindful of changes and keeping your code well orga...

Save yourself a future headache and learn the command line

-
For a software developer, knowing how to navigate through the Terminal command line is very, very important. Starting out, you may think that it's not that big of a deal. But if you ignore this crucial "soft" skill for developers, it will come back to haunt you at the worst time. To give you an example, a friend of mine who was doing freelance work was in the process of migrating a software product from his local machine to a remote server. His client told him that he would have to do the entire migration through SSH (Secure shell). For those that don't know, SSH is a safe way to remote into another computer from your local machine and make changes to the remote machine. But here's the kicker, SSH requires you to access the remote machine from a terminal and use commands from the terminal. Having minimal experience with the command line, my friend struggled to do even the simplest of commands such as copying moving files, running and testing his changes, and keepi...

macOS, things I don't like and fixes

-
Hey guys, I was talking to some coworkers about the three biggest things I don't like about the default macOS system and decided to find workarounds for them this morning. The first problem that I can't stand is the fact that when I "close" an application, the application continues to run in the background and has that taunting black dot under the application to remind you that it is still running. I guess I just grew up using Windows and want the OS to assume that if I exit an application, it should actually quit the application. I used to just repetitively hit the command+q to work around this but I want you all to know there is a much simpler solution. Download the application RedQuits and after it has been downloaded and setup, any application will stop running the application as soon as you hit the red x associated with that application. The second problem that really annoys me is the fact that when I go into full screen, the menu bar associated with that ap...
