Yes, it is not optimized for reading. What many devs have pointed out in personal conversations is: The cost of maintenance is no longer just tied to engineer’s salary. just the sheer scale of code, comments and documentation generated by a

I think I have some tendencies to do so as well. More specifically, I have the itch to just spend some time, knowing or understanding the tools I use better. It Has paid dividends for me, since the tools we typically use for $work are supe

Yes tldr, navi cheatsheets are essentially a great set of how to do X using Y for terminal utilities. Pretty well curated set of commands for majority of the tasks, so are great training material. And great work! Love it

Yep! And it works well on iOS too. Safari sucks and stutters with some of these single file html and I haven’t been able to figure out why, but my god this is awesome and also fun to play with!

Ohh, sadly I relate with this feeling too much. For all the agentic loops people seem to have come up with, the research loop or as I call it the “Desperate 10th page on Github’s crappy search results” is still not up to the mark. Either it

They require admin privileges. A consumer on an enterprise servers might not have them, which is where I would guess glibc might not be latest one. If you are an admin then sure those solutions can be feasible.

I too have the same experience with LLM generated code. I just get burnt out reading it and all the verbosity it has. I eventually gave up reading through it and keep it as a archive of previous work, while handwriting the code. If I get st

That used to be the case, and I loved the empty feed. But, i noticed that it started showing me the default feed of all the AI slop people post which linkedin thinks is relevant to my field. The current way that worked for me was to select

Yeah i think you have a valid point. I did have this issue come up where i was trying to vectorize an indexed png and no amount of playing with different engines and settings gave me a good enough reduction in size. It was essentially treat

Thanks for taking the initiative to create this page! I was disappointed with the search feature github had regarding searching these type of files. Here are some more such tools I feel you might find interesting (or most likely you might a

Not sure how long it will survive, but opening it in a private browser tab helped. Also, funny enough that this pissed me off so much, that I started asking LLM to search for something on reddit. I don’t care about the answer since due to i

Fair enough that I did not mention any timeline. And could’ve been general with “VCS”. And you are absolutely correct, that basics of some of these tools can be learnt in an afternoon. In fact the industry i work in we don’t have git, but s

Any experience with ‘programmers’ not knowing git?

My first thought as well! Even glancing through their website I don’t see an FAQ section or even a section just answering what value addition it brings over pandoc?

Not sure if this completely helps with the full setup aspect, however, I got introduced to secure enclave when i was researching a git app for iOS. The following app has, as one of its paid features that you can utilize secure enclave. Pret

Really surprised that this is not the first thing everyone does on their repositories. I am not a celebrity on github and not even agents bother with my repositories, however, even before the bot pull requests/issues, I always made sur

Oh my god! I hate using anything that is not my keyboard anymore. Laptops are not ‘lap’tops for me since I will just be slow without my keyboard. The split keyboard with many thumb keys is tough to achieve on laptop.

Small note: You need admin privileges only once for the first install which creates a new user `linuxbrew` and everything is based around `/home/linuxbrew` prefix. The issue is on systems where getting an admin access is not possi

Yes. I daily drive pop os now. Hate to use flatpak for anything. Only install core packages, google chrome and vscode using apt. Almost everything else is installed using homebrew. The idea is have a base stable system for UI and basic shel

Yeah I tried nix about 8 months ago. Not really as simple as homebrew. Even the detereminate nix tutorial though nice felt too much of a hassle. I feel homebrew really is a nice interface which is pretty close to conventional package manage

No, it is an advantage. I am not a rust evangelist, I am not a rust programmer or programmer at all; however while evaluating tools to use, anything written in Rust and Go at-least gets me to look at the project in more detail, since they m

Just curious, any reason to prefer using age (you mentioned that you would prefer it if starting over), over something like keepass? I am currently using keepass-cli and only reason i did not use age even though i found it was that it was n

Okay. Here is a pattern i follow everywhere in my init files for almost every program. Define two key env vars. $DOTFILES and $ECORP. The first is path to your personal set of dotfiles. The second is path to your corporate specific dotfiles

Glad to run into this after some time! I guess we are welcoming the software people to the world of expensive tools. Just sad that the FOSS alternatives of these tools are not as powerful whereas software industry still has FOSS tools to fa

Haha. I spent a significant amount of time getting vim keybinds everywhere, and eventually had to make exceptions for certain software. But, I had my share of making exceptions I guess and got frustrated when I couldn’t map Win+L in Windows
