Compare composer.json on Two Different Git Branches

I have composer.json files on two different branches and I want to compare their (non-dev) dependencies. This is the command I run to compare the "require" section of composer.json on my current...

a debugging manifesto
a debugging manifesto 1. inspect, don't squash try to fix the bug (crossed out) understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars) 2. check your assumptions person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?" 3. being stuck is temporary person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!" ... 2 minutes later.... person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..." 4. don't go it alone person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?" 5. trust nobody and nothing person (thinking): this library can't be buggy... OR CAN IT??? 6. there's always a reason computer: "computers are always logical, even when it doesn't feel that way" 7. build your toolkit person (holding toolkit): "wow, the CSS inspector makes debugging SO MUCH EASIER" 8. it can be an adventure person (talking, with cute bug next to them): "you wouldn't BELIEVE the weird bug I found" by @b0rk @omarieclaire, more like this at https://wizardzines.com

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself. Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Hey @wp_rocket love the plugin, but what's with the staggered release? It's confusing us at @webdevstudios when we see it in some dashboards but not others.

Just as we hoped would happen, the prosecutor declined to file charges in the absurd F12 hacking case. It’s done. You may now resume use of your keyboard and all its keys. joshrenaud.com/pd/josh-renau…

I remember I used to think submitting a huge pull request was a flex 😂 The real flex is being able to break down large features into smaller chunks of deliverable code. Makes it much easier for your team to code-review & it helps you take smaller steps towards completion.

One of the main goals of object-oriented programming is decoupling. Inheritance is the exact opposite of that, so the wrong approach most of the time. Always think twice before using inheritance in #OOP! "Friends don't let friends use inheritance for code reuse!" 😉

A rare insightful comment on the orange site: news.ycombinator.com/item?id… "Open source is not broken".
Funding for Open Source is a serious problem, but I'm kind of tired of seeing article titles and phrasing implicitly suggesting (again, I think completely unintentionally in this case) that it's the Open Source community's problem to solve. You all use our stuff! This is your problem, your stuff broke because projects were underfunded. Why is it our job to make our funding methods more comfortable to you? The company's stuff breaking because their lawyers are irrationally scared of straight no-strings-attached donations is their problem. ... build the software you want to build, and don't let leaches pretend that gives you an extra obligation to them. Particularly don't let leaches argue that your inability to keep leaches away is your fault. Honestly, the Log4j maintainers would have been completely justified in saying, "hey, yeah, we see this critical vulnerability, but it's the weekend, we'll get to it on Monday."

One of the best tools for solving any bug, but especially the pernicious ones you can't track down, is a minimal reproduction. Start from zero, simplify, figure out what causes it. You'll solve more of your own problems and maintainers will love you. wizardzines.com/comics/minim…
