  • Depends on to whom. If you’re explaining to your grandma, a small child, a co-worker, or a student under your tutelage, you probably don’t want an explanation that relies on reference to a porn site.

    And if you’re explaining to a novice developer or to an IT person who sometimes might have to work with Git, they deserve an explanation that leaves them with a basic understanding (or at least the names) of the kinds of things Git and GitHub are (VCSes and SCM forges, respectively), not just an inkling that GitHub is not unique in being ‘a place to host (some?) Git, whatever that is’.

    So… if you don’t mind that it suggests ‘GitHub is for uploading Git(s)’, that line is an okay way to teach ‘the difference between Git and GitHub’ to non-technical, non-elderly adults who don’t really need to know what Git is (and don’t work with you or study under you).

    That’s an explanation of pretty damn narrow usefulness, to put it generously.

    It is pithy and memorable, though.







  • Truthfully, I’ve not tried many MX-compatible switches in a full board. Just Box Whites and Box Royals, besides the Box Navies. My daily driver is a Model M.

    I haven’t tried the U4Ts! They’re on my list of candidates. Do you find them to be pretty good as a relatively light switch that still gives good feedback?

    I do have some Emogogo Silver Grays which I think might be comparable, but I need only a handful of these switches so I wouldn’t mind ordering some U4Ts if they’re good.

    Spring swapping is a good idea, especially since I don’t need a ton here. I wonder how light I can go with the Clickiez before they have return issues… maybe I could lighten those a bit.
