Thanks.
He was using his main hotmail address.
Not sure how the school set up the codespace he was using or how what he was doing would result in such a high push rate.
He is continuing with the course using a standalone environment. He said if Github does not respond to his ticket he will create a new email and Github account and only use it to submit the finished projects for grading.
Thanks again.

Oh, as far as the ton of emails, you're right about that, as in GHE will send an email if somebody sneezes. But, it's configurable at least.

-Bitbucket allows to organize repositories in folders / workspaces.
I could not find this feature in GitHub, perhaps I missed something in its GUI
(and it's possible to work around this, too)
-Working with branches + PR in Bitbucket seems to me easier than in GitHub,
but, again, I am just beginning using GitHub, perhaps I will change my mind after some time ...

But, you can work around it by standardizing on your repo names. So, rather than folder/repo it would just be folder-repo. As far as why that is, my guess is that it's due to git itself having no concept of folders for repos. As far as discoverability, IMO having no folders is better, but yeah it can get unwieldy easily.
Side note, GHE is adding KVP metadata to repos that you can filter against. So, while not exactly the same as folders, it's at least something in that regards.

I just made that same argument, the saving the planet part, on our ask-cpo type slack channel. They're wanting everyone who lives less than 40 miles from the office to come in 3 days a week. If I did that I would lose 3 hours of my day. The southern US states don't do public transportation.
Yes, I did ask if that is via road or as the crow flies. My over the road distance is 31 miles.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

And, they have no idea how having you at the office for 3 days of the week will even affect productivity.
It's just a total guess and it makes no sense. They're just flailing at answers like they've always flailed.
Edit - And, of course the resolution is to simply move 9 miles further away from work.

Oh, they've already addressed that, if you do move you still have to come in because your move was simply to get outside the ring. No, I am not kidding.

ok...yeah then that sounds like a good reason to at least look around to see what other jobs might be available. Seems unlikely that sort of attitude does not extend to other parts of the company.

Managment 2 levels above me lives in rural Montana and they know this teams works well all remotely so we're all hoping they say keep everything as status quo.
I started working remotely a year BEFORE Covid hit.

All they really know is how much they're paying for that office and they want to keep it filled.

Which is weird: for decades the bean counters have been trying to reduce the size of office space to save money. Close 'em all and have all employees work from home (and pay for their own heating, lighting, and electricity) and you'll save a ton of money*
* Except you can't sell the office space because accountants are like sheep - if one saves £0.10 on a £100 product by firing all the manufacturing staff and moving it to slave labour in China they all follow suit.

Yes, but they probably have leases that won't expire for a few years, or real estate that isn't liquid.

Google maps lets you choose alternative routes. Can't you just choose one that is over 40?
(This is both a joke and somewhat serious.)

I already looked at that, I'm in Atlanta and if I use Interstate 75 it the 31 miles, if I come in via Interstate 20 it becomes 40.6 miles to the office.

Sounds like the route to take then!

I think they don't like paying for a lot of empty office space. All the rationalizations my employer made for coming back in ring hollow to me. "Better team work/collaboration/face-to-face socialization"... uh huh, right.

they are trying to justify all that office space they bought, built and/or rented

Only four videos (3 to 4 1/2 minutes long) but they are worth watching.
I like the online comic format, but I hope he continues with the video format as well - probably a lot of work though.
