Did you know?
First released in 1989 BASH is named after the noise your head makes when it hits your desk after looking at it for too long?

Just had Google Bard create JSON Schema for all five pages of a test site of mine - gave it the URLs as a list. Done in seconds and it all looks good.
Which begs the question now - do i actually need to make Schema for my pages if Google can do that itself...

Wondering if my manager would approve two weeks off, so I could work up a new ~/.emacs file.
Thinking of ditching Doom, going back to vanilla.
ClojureScript / Npm integration feels like it has come a looong way. Especially with shadow-cljs.
I was able to get a sanity.io client spun up really easily.

Apparently my hair is giving conservative MP vobes today... 🤣

Before you close a web page make sure you scroll up to the top, so it’s in the right position for the next person

@freemo The struggle is real! It is one of those things that I manage to both love doing and hate doing at the same time. 😆

Don't get me wrong! The ability to craft emacs into a very powerful tool that helps me get stuff done is amazing.
I'm reflecting on how easy it is to end up only doing 'meta work' or improving configuration over actually using the tool to get the actual work done.
It is a personal flaw, but given how much emacs is a tool which appeals to people who enjoy tinkering for it's own sake I'm probably not alone in this behavior / struggle. :-)
I repeatedly fall into the trap of working on my emacs configuration rather than doing the work I've set up my emacs configuration to help me with... #emacs #tinkering
@yogthos yikes! Didn't realise UK was doing so poorly!

The juxt function is one of my favorites. It returns a function that lets you run many functions against the same parameters and returns the results as a vector.
((juxt inc dec even? odd? -) 1)
=> [2 0 false true -1]

This meme has been rattling around in my head for at least a year and I only just now finally bothered to write it down
