    Treesitter is fantastic. It has builtin support in nvim, and there are a lot of plugins that make use of it. My favorite is nvim-treesitter-textobjects which gives you dozens of ne…

    I use Brave, and for me it's really just the least bad option. Firefox-based browsers do not support macOS automation (AppleScript/JXA). Safari lacks features/extensions. Orion/Viv…

    Plain and simple: It's an AI-enhanced "I'm feeling lucky". As someone who uses the "I'm feeling lucky" regularly, this is definitely an improvement.

    Money does not make you happy, but it can solve problems. Don't aim to be rich, but try to have enough.

    Love rss, but the upside of not having an algorithm determine your content consumption quickly results in a fire hose of content. Sadly, filtering features seem to be only availabl…

    - native browser bookmarks: things I visit regularly and want to access quickly, like the website of my bank. - read-later-links: I send it to my todo app, and read it the next day…

    Oh thx, must have missed that. Guess at least that saves me some time to switch to the newer API in the future.

    API is noticeably slower for me, sometimes up to 10x slower. Upon some digging, it seems that part of the slowdown is due to the gpt-5 models by default doing some reasoning (reaso…

    I've only used reflog really to look up a hash and reset back to it. Is there anything else about it one should learn?

    "Waiting for the AI agent" is the new "waiting for code to compile," it seems.

    Is it possible to trigger the expander differently? I already have zsh-magic-dashboard running on empty enter.

    Landline phone. Never used it, the only thing I got there was spam, marketing or survey calls. Twitter for reasons that probably do not need explaining. If low-tech counts: Contact…

    I wrote a small shell function that does exactly that. Uses gh and yq (you can replace the yq part with jq) https://github.com/chrisgrieser/.config/blob/main/zsh/config ...

    A formatter with little to no configuration, similar to black. A linter what the reasoning for all rules is well explained, similar to shellcheck or eslint. Both ideally integrated…

    The fact that it's a class on ethics and technology is quite ironic.

    Looks nice, residuals the merging is something I haven't seen in other clipboard managers. I think my main question is why I should use a browser-scoped clipboard manager over a gl…

    I sometimes use sounds as opposed to print statements when debugging automations or certain UI behavior, e.g. to indicate whether a certain if-condition was triggered or not. The a…

    With the syntax being a selling point, I think having a comparison between jq, yq, and dasel would be really useful. Luke a few examples how to accomplish X in each one of them, so…
