#emacs #Bookmarks are a super power I never hear mentioned, and BookmarksPlus is a full-blown application that highlights and brings all that power to your finger tips. Annotations, URLs, directories, files (like my PDF library), and full integration with dired. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus

The original code author was new to the language (this was his first and maybe only project in #Clojure) and loved to explicitly return nil and check `(nil?)` all the time. It turns out, it's harder to remove explicit type and `nil?` checks than I thought.

Apparently I need to practice the "refactor so it's idiomatic, without changing the behavior". #clojure #testing

https://orys.us/v0 what has been taking a lot if my time as I try to make our automated deployment happy on some project. #xkcd #deploying #testing

https://lib.reviews/ is ad-free and open source, though not decentralized. Looks very clean!

Does anyone know of a decentralized solution, like BookWyrm for movies?

oi. Performing bisection while slowly waiting for the remote tests to execute because I'm debugging an error that isn't happening locally... for the love of all things REPL, I'm sorry...

I just found out about #SafeTwitch, soothing the annoyance of endless Twitch popups, interruptions, and notification-ads. https://codeberg.org/dragongoose/safetwitch I mean, I want to support the people I follow, but #Twitch is so heavy handed at it. Maybe I should just do a Patreon. All the proprietary services, making you suffer or use money to use them. #Commercialism at work.

The glory of #lisp like #clojure is supposed to be the smooth #REPL experience. I have gone back to the stoneage because github actions are receiving an error that I cannot reproduce locally, so I keep making a change, pushing to see if that effects the github test error, and then trying again. Like I'm back in the stone age.

Today I learned from a repo readme... caveat emptor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor #til #noWarranty

Derived from https://xkcd.com/303/ to express my own experience. I don't often spend time compiling in my work as a webdev, but TDD and the regression tests take some serious time.

Any kind of content creator (and I am not a serious one) needs to sometimes cause the site caches to update for the image previews. I've done it for Twitter back before it got hijaXed; it was pretty simple for #Telegram, though.

#emacs is really really good at "undo". Undo localized to an area, visual undotree for when that goes bad; options for saving undo between sessions (which I don't use because I don't know what a session is... #NeverExit)

I regard Browser Support as a litmus test. "Not supported" in an up-to-date FireFox is just showing that you aren't serious about Web Dev. Especially you, #MicrosoftTeams
