You may like https://httpie.io/ if you've not memorised all the curl flags already. The CLI tools way of making requests with headers and post bodies is really nice in my opinion `http PUT pie.dev/put X-API-Token:123 name=John`
I use restclient inside emacs. You edit a .http file to add the endpoints and you can quickly execute them.

#27Ragas for anyone building RAG pipelines.
It evaluates your retrieval quality before you've written a single line of product code. Faithfulness, answer relevance, context recall are all measurable and automatable.
Most teams I've seen find out their retrieval is broken in production. Ragas tells you in Week 0. Completely changes how you scope the build.

#29code-server, instead of VSCode. I can build my own podman image on top of it with whatever dev tools I need for whatever languages I'm working with, and if I have to install something weird or something breaks I can just restart the container. Especially on my work machine that isn't Linux, I have this running in a VM and can just use in my browser and don't have to jump through hoops to get the dev environment I wan…
so... devcontainers but in a different way?
Why not just devcontainers? I know its a PITA to setup on podman.
