Developer
This is what a snow day looks like if you’re a developer.
tree.nathanfriend.io is a little website/app that generates an ASCII file tree from indented text (like a mock of the tree CLI). I make these diagrams all the time for docs, and this tool will speed that up a bunch. Via Chris Coyier.
A consistent problem I have with my development workflow is knowing that I did something before, but not exactly where. What repo did I do that in? What GitHub org even? Perhaps the answer is “Zettelkasten” but where do I find the time for that?
Between going 100% indie with my software company, my MacBook Pro 2019’s fan’s screaming incessantly, and Apple dropping the M2 Mac Studio, it looks like I’m in the computer market again. Oh, and Chris Lawley says they fixed the fan noise. The question is, what spec?
GitHub is killing it with the new new code view and search. The confluence of GitHub and VS Code is amazing. Colour me surprised, but Microsoft buying GitHub was such a good thing.
I finally used Python’s Walrus := operator to clean up a hacky situation. Maybe I could be more proactively finding uses, but it was fun to have an obvious one appear finally!
