These are instructions for setting up git to authenticate with GitHub when you have 2-factor authentication set up. This authentication should be inherited by any GUI client you are using. These are intentionally brief instructions, with links to more detail in the appropriate places.

Download and install the git command-line client (if required).

Open the git bash window and introduce yourself to git (if required):

git config --global user.name 'Firstname Lastname'
git config --global user.email 'firstname.lastname@gov.bc.ca'

Git Commit Best Practices

Basic Rules

Commit Related Changes

A commit should be a wrapper for related changes. For example, fixing two different bugs should produce two separate commits. Small commits make it easier for other developers to understand the changes and roll them back if something went wrong. With tools like the staging area and the ability to stage only parts of a file, Git makes it easy to create very granular commits.

Commit Often

Committing often keeps your commits small and, again, helps you commit only related changes. Moreover, it allows you to share your code more frequently with others. That way it‘s easier for everyone to integrate changes regularly and avoid having merge conflicts. Having large commits and sharing them infrequently, in contrast, makes it hard to solve conflicts.

Installation: 1- Explain how Go path works? 2- What are the benefits of Go Module (reference its commands)?
Concurrency: 1- Explain Concurrency & when to use it? 2- How would you allow communication between goroutines in Go? 3- How would you manage their access to resources?

why do you use Go (my answer was as simple as "why i shouldn't", and some extra points Grimacing face)

Note: I'm currently taking a break from this course to focus on my studies so I can finally graduate

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Building Evolutionary Architectures

Chapter 1 - Software Architecture

Architecture is 'the important stuff, whatever that is' or 'the parts that are hard to change later'. An architect analyzes business, domain, and other requirements to develop solutions that satisfy a list of prioritized architectural characteristics (-ilities). We should consider time and change with respect to architecture, or evolvability.

Software ecosystems are in a state of dynamic equilibrium. New languages, tools, methods constant force new equilibriums to emerge (free OS, linux, + free operations, puppet, led to the shift to containers). The pace of change in technology is constantly and rapidly changing in unexpected ways. We should architect systems knowing the landscape will change. Make ease of change a principal of architecture, remove the 'hard to change' definition of architecture.

An evolutionary architecture supports guided, incremental change across multiple dimensions. Evolvability is a meta characteristic that
