Yes, vim is still has the best vanilla keyboard shortcuts https://thevaluable.dev/vim-advanced/

It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come and take for granted. https://www.zdnet.com/article/1991s-pc-technology-was-unbelievable/

Fish tacos are so underrated...

Interesting, why the DOS `\` character was used over the `/` for paths: https://web.archive.org/web/20100612035120/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/larryosterman/archive/2005/06/24/432386.aspx

Quitting Twitter: https://blog.nindalf.com/posts/quitting-twitter/ Agreed. The expectation of engagement was always there but always lacking. I had the same experience as the OP with low/no engagement to when I did engage I was branded "troll." That with my effort to decentralize my life, I don't think I will be back on that platform.

@adam right I agree. I do think of a test is no longer providing value it’s at the end of life. How you determine that value is totally project/team based.

@adam furthermore, maybe there should be a TTL on certain kind of tests that exceed their usefulness. Replaced with a big integration test after the TTL.

@adam “not” massing tech debt.

@adam I am saying that good feedback can end up being a negative value if they are not broken from time to time. Chaos is required to ensure you are massing tech debt.

Reading about Mutation Testing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_testing

The purpose of testing, is to tell you when stuff is broken. Passing tests is easy, and possibly pointless. A failing test is much more interesting.

@adam have you seen command e? https://getcommande.com/

Just switched to bitwarden over lastpass. Sad they've decided to make free tier plans garb. 🗑️ Already enjoying all that bitwarden has to offer on the free plan too. Check this out if you're looking to switch: https://www.theverge.com/22295354/lastpass-export-delete-bitwarden-1password-zoho

A well written integration test is worth 100's of unit tests. TDD with integration tests is my favorite way to refactor large amounts of legacy code. 😎

@adam I was thinking I could probably rebuild using EJS instead of client side DOM manipulation too, might as well!

@adam It was easy man. Check this out: https://github.com/patricksimpson/blog/blob/master/package.json#L34

This builds it at build time. I am also running this via cron every 15 minutes on the server to get fresh updates. 😀
