I've worked with git using the mega-merge approach, and one thing I found is that git-absorb won't merge commits into anything that precedes a merge. It works fine for absorbing changes into earlier commits on a feature branch, bu

I’ve been using Ctrl-s for years. Nothing else uses it because it’s historically been used for terminal flow control, but that doesn’t really have much use in a graphical terminal with history and scrollbars and so I’ve never missed it. Has

A related tool that I've found useful over the years is Unison [1]. Think of it as rsync where you can interactively adjust the reconciliation algorithm between the two sides of the sync connection. It stores a hash of the file content

It’s really handy to have a composable API for building SQL queries where different elements are contributed by different parts of the code. From example, having your authorisation code apply restrictions to queries through where clauses, j

I’ve been looking at codemod tools recently, just as a way to extend my editing toolbox. I came across https://ast-grep.github.io/ , which looks like it might address part of this problem. My initial test case was to locate

I’m designing a piece of user interface at the moment, and one thing I’ve been puzzled by is whether keyboard shortcuts should affect the focussed element. I’d love to find out if there are best practices in this area, and particularly if t
