Solving programming exercises
  • Something I've been trying to cultivate is the ability to "externalize" my thoughts (even if it's just to myself). Like, more of a process-oriented approach. it's so easy to bang out some code that works, but sometimes I look back at what I wrote and think "how did I wind up here"

    [advice] How do you learn with brain fog and bad memory?
  • What about some simple katas? I've been learning a few new languages and don't want to forget the syntax / common methods, so I pick an easy kata and solve it in each. I find that this is usually enough to prevent me from forgetting everything

    Raku is surprisingly good for CLIs - Hillel Wayne
  • As someone who picked up Raku without knowing anything about Perl (besides the fact that it had something to do with regex), it was a little surprising :)

    How do you feel about TypeScript?
  • Yeah, I get that. I'm on sabbatical RN, so my GitHub usage is purely personal. Having your work feed hijacked is a different story altogether

    How do you feel about TypeScript?
  • Idk, I actually kind of like the "for you" feed. I've discovered some interesting projects on there that I wouldn't have otherwise

    D or d come on
  • I tend to always install both of them together too! Which makes it a little hard to know where things are coming from. This time I decided to start from scratch, so certain aspects of the config are still salient in my mind

    Making Hard Things Easy
  • I really like the idea of "turn a big list into a small list". tldr is pretty good for that. Limited, but useful nonetheless

    D or d come on
  • Hmm, it didn't "just work" for me. I had to set it up recently:

    zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' 'r:|=*' 'l:|=* r:|=*'

    That line needs to go in .zshrc. Maybe it's enabled by default with oh-my-zsh?

    The case for nushell
  • I feel you on this. I recently switched to fish, and have one or two .fish scripts that don't really "do" anything. Everything else remotely important is still in bash, and I'll probably keep it that way

    Maybe somewhere down the line...

    What helps people get comfortable on the command line?
  • Can’t live without oh-my-zsh, powerlevel10k and zsh autocomplete/autosuggestions plugins. It’s the first thing I install whenever I’m on a new computer.

    I run this exact same setup, it's pretty much a prereq on a fresh install. I wonder if we've all been exposed to the same blog articles
