I'd really like to hear their thoughts around the capitalization of GitHub. Everyone who uses git interacts it with it in downcase. To see it upcased like that is unfamiliar.
I think the difference is the command vs the product. Even the git homepage refers to it in uppercase almost everywhere [0]. A similar example would be capitalizing Java everywhere, but using java for commands.
I can also relate to the "success=charisma hypothesis." In my comfort zone, I feel (and therefore act) a lot more confident than when I'm in an unfamiliar situation. It can affect tone of voice, posture, body language, eye contact - all sorts of charismatic gestures.
I once walked past Bill Clinton having lunch in an NYC restaurant, and from 100 feet away I could almost feel the charismatic aura around him. It was impressive, and has stuck with me. But perhaps it was as related to the several hundred people around with their eyes glued to him, as it was to any charismatic qualities he may have been born with.
I used to have an hour-long train commute to work each day, and I'd sleep as late as possible while still leaving myself enough time to catch my train. So at 5:40am my alarm would go off, and I HAD to get up. There was no snooze.
The commute is long gone but the habit of rolling out of bed immediately never broke. I'm grateful for it. I used to spend half an hour snoozing, groggily working my way out of the bed to start my day. I didn't get a whole lot of extra rest, just wasted half an hour not really sleeping, but not doing anything else either.
