`Alpha01`. Padding of 0 helps with ordering. So `2` doesn't come before `10` and truly `02` comes before `10`

Small reminder that IJ is also a wonderful standalone "diff" tool.

It even unfurls your zip files content.

Great post.

Thanks @zacsweers.dev for putting the thoughts into words. A lot of it aligns with what I have been thinking lately but just couldn't formalize in writing.

I've been laid off! (Startup downsizing to a skeleton crew, sadly.)

I'm looking for my next dev role. Lots of experience in Android, most recently worked on Node/TS and Python.

Ideally landing at a mission-driven place (been focusing on sustainability recently, but any public benefit will do).

Weird. That dialog felt like something changed in the underlying file system.

If you're making changes through the IDE then "Cancel' and if you're making changes in other editors (like Cursor/VS code) while IDE is opened then "OK"?
