Seems like an appropriate place to share https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps

I’m a fan of ripgrep and lsd in particular.

Check out the fzf docs. It ships with helpers that offer better shell integration than you’re getting here.

Tiling WM that you are not sure you want to get into: Sway. It’s a great alternative to i3 IMO.

What I use when I care to put in the effort of setting something up in great detail: Enlightenment. Some may argue that it’s not “lightweight”, but you can readily include only the bits you want, and avoid things like network config guis and system tray apps or whatever it is that you don’t want. Even when you’re using “all the things” which is not technically “lightweight” what it IS is performant. Oh, it’s also very pretty.

In addition to many of the fine points made in other comments I think it’s silly to overlook the power of celebrity worship and weird-ass parasocial relationships with famous people.

There exists a large number of people who aren’t really interested in discussing <topic_x>, they just want to know what <favourite celebrity whos life I have deluded myself into thinking is attainable by me> thinks about the topic so that they can regurgitate it and feel like they’re “the same”.

I’m sure if Chappell Roan or whatever “the kids” think is cool these days had jumped to Mastodon we’d be seeing something very different. TBH I’m mildly surprised that we didn’t see more record labels standing up instances. It’s always boggled me that people have just trusted the service desperately trying to be known as “X” as an authority on identity.

I also “misuse” timewarrior a bit and use it to time things like “how much time do I spend waiting for salt to run”. That has its own timewarrior db and a wrapper function for pointing the command at said db. I use this in both login and non login shell contexts.

All of the repos for my GitHub sourced vim plugins live under one parent directory. I symlink to them from ~/.vim

One example is a simple function that pushes the top level repo directory onto my dir stack and then runs a loop where it pushes each subdir into the stack, runs “ggpull” then pops back to the top level repo directory. ggpull is an alias added by the zsh git plugin. After all repos have been updated it pops back to my original pwd.

I run this as part of my “update all the things” script but sometimes I also want to run it in demand from the cli. So I want this function in all scopes and I want it to have access to “ggpull” in all of those scopes.

It’s all about context. If you write a convenience function and put it in zshrc, scripts you run from the cli will not have access to the function as defined in zshrc. Same with aliases added by zsh plugins etc.

If you need “the thing” on the command line, zshrc. If you also need it in scripts you run from the cli, toss it in the profile file.

ETA: I personally keep the functions I want to access from scripts in .zshenv as I recall reading that this file is ALWAYS sourced.

I want to add: 2-3 sprints ahead is a GREAT begining goal for a team trying to get started with Agile.

Long term though let’s set that bar higher :D

I do greatly appreciate my management and general company tech culture, they’re great.

I agree with your stance here, because it’s part of my point. I tend to see more people bitching about Agile itself and not management or their particular implementation.

The jobs where I was only given enough info to plan 2 - 4 weeks out were so stressful because I frequently felt like I was guessing at which work was important or even actually relevant. Hated it.

Turns out it’s a skill issue ;p (on the management level to be clear). Folks, don’t let your lazy managers ruin you on a system that can be perfectly fine if done right.

2-3 sprints?! Y’all really flying by the seat of your pants out here huh?

My teammates and I have no trouble planning multiple quarters in advance. If something crops up like some company wide security initiative, or an impactful bug needing fixed, etc then the related work is planned and then gets inserted ahead of some of the previously planned things and that’s fine because we’re “agile”.

I delivered a thing at the end of Q3 when we planned to deliver at the start of Q3? Nobody is surprised because when the interruptions came leadership had to choose which things get pushed back.

I love it. I get clear expectations set in regards to both the “when” and the “what”, and every delay/reprioritization that isn’t just someone slacking was chosen by management.

Hot metal + arm = Smiley Face

Same here. Reference, particularly sheet music and cooking recipes work fine for me digitally.

I can sit at the computer and read social/news media for hours with no problem, but the way ebooks are displayed tires my eyes very quickly for some reason.

While I don’t have this issue with the e-ink/e-paper stuff, I’ve never owned one. I also appreciate that physical books are often much harder to damage and will work without electricity.

said the liar!

you can set the “FROM” address to literally anything.

Hey all, “that guy” chiming in.

You can set the “FROM” address to any string that meets the specifications of the “Address Specification” section of the relevant RFCs (5322 and 6854, maybe others). Which is SUPER FAR from “literally anything”.

I know this seems like some neck-beard bullshit, but we’re here answering the question for someone who clearly has little understanding of email internals. Hyperbole is bad in this context IMO.

An absolute lack of consideration in regards to chat etiquette. Man now that I think about it, it’s chat threads/notification in particular.

People who carry on side conversations in threads. You’re giving everyone else who has participated in the thread the choice of “disable notifications for this thread and risk missing something relevant come back around, or get a notification for every single side message they’re sending”. Especially when someone is chiming in like 4 hours later. “Glad you guys got this sorted out”. Yes, all 12 of us on-call people in this thread needed to get that message direct to our phones at 3a.m. 4 hours after the outage has been resolved. Thanks for that. Very fucking helpful. High value communication.

People who will not use threads. I don’t need a new fucking notification every 20 seconds because you guys are deciding to have a chat about e-bikes. Make a goddamn thread or use a room made for chit chat, we’re all on the same team, we’re all in on-call positions. I’m paid to respond when this thing makes a noise. I am NOT comfortable muting the team channel.

It’s addressed elsewhere in these comments, but +1 to folks who just message you “hi”. Go get stabbed.

On the topic of notification fatigue:

People who will just not finish a thought.

Before hitting their enter button.

So they end up like doing this thing.

Where you get a notification every 15 seconds, because they are just absolutely addicted.

To their enter key I mean.

They are addicted to thier enter key.

their*

Oh.

I guess I could have just edited that message instead of sending the correction with the thing.

Asterisk? Asterisx? I forget what it's called.

LOL.

Anyway, that thing.

Also, when I’m helping you I am 100% going to stop what I am doing every time I get a message and read the message. There’s no way for me to know whether or not you’re messaging me “Oh never mind, I had a typo” or “here is more relevant info to make your work easier”. That message may very well have immediate impact on what I’m doing, and affect the course I take. Of course I’m going to stop what I’m doing to read it. So maybe don’t wait 5 minutes to send me the message “k” after I kindly, thoughtfully provide you with the status update “I think it’s the fizzibob, let me verify in the logs real quick” of my own volition so that you are not only aware of what’s going on, but don’t have any question as to whether or not your question is still being looked at.

It’s not “apart” at all. One person saying “yes” in a sea of "no"s still answers the question “Does anyone else”.

Anyone who has answered “No” is either wrong or is not answering the question “Does anyone else find street performers particularly annoying?”. They’re answering a question they imagine they were asked which is “Do YOU dear %USERNAME%, in particular, also find street performers particularly annoying?”

If 10,000 people respond to a super broad “Does anyone else” question and 9,999 of them are “no” and 1 is “yes” then you have 9,999 people who have provided an incorrect answer. More likely they’re just answering the question they wished they were asked though.

Pretty sure that’s what goforliftoff@lemm.ee is on about and why I felt your response to their comment warranted my unsolicited explanation.

There are plenty of good shows I’ve seen from street performers. Just stay out of the thoroughfare and don’t harass people and we’ll be fine. There are certainly a lot of talent-less fuck wit archetypes I could come up with though. Here are a few off the top of my head:

• Teenager who just discovered contact juggling
• Hipster on a unicycle who makes his own mustache wax. No juggling, no nothing, just a dude with a very groomed mustache
• Burn out who thinks if you replace metal riffs with minor chords they’re excellent soulful ballads
• Concerningly skinny geek doing geek shit. Like actual geeks, not mislabeled nerds
• College age stoner who thinks that people want to watch him play hacky sack
• Raver trying to justify their light up hula hoop purchases by performing for sober people while no music is playing

I hate most of the musicians too. I think that there is a pretty wide variety of reasons that the world would benefit from greater education in music. It won’t be for everybody, but neither is trigonometry and that’s pretty common in education curriculums.

The bar is extremely fucking low here. People are just way too easily impressed by someone being able to play an instrument at ALL. They can’t tell when a multi-stringed instrument is out of tune (and neither can the fucking busker), and they certainly can’t pick out the good from the bad.

Then you get these goddamn mediocre as shit buskers all chuffed up on their Dunning-Kruger high. I imagine the thought is something like: “People clapped and cheered, there’s money in my hat. I must be amazing at this!”. I am completely fucking unimpressed by your ability to play three simple chords on your dollar store toy piano while absolutely disrespecting a Johnny Cash cover of a NiN song.

Your human experience is not so unique that you are literally the only human being bothered by these particular types of street performers.

I think this comment is less about answering your question and is more about how asinine this very common framing of “Does anyone else …” is. Statistically speaking: “Yes”. It almost doesn’t matter what comes after “Does anyone else”. The difference between “Do any of you in this chat room also like blue?” and “Does anyone else like blue?” is huge.

Posing this sort of question online without great specificity or audience restriction is almost always going to result in the response “Yes”.

There are so many ways to phrase this question and start this conversation, it’s wild that the equivalent of “Am I literally the only currently living human being with this experience” is the current “go-to” in the English speaking world :p

I don’t feel guilty about the things I do to make myself happy or to make time spent more enjoyable. I know that’s not really in the spirit of your question, but I think it’s an important statement to make. Yes, I do understand the term “guilty pleasure”, I just think it’s a bad phrasing.

Some things that I do not feel guilty about:

• Having a bong hit with my afternoon tea
• Taking a break from work, socializing, or gaming to play some guitar
• Whatever is happening on my second monitor.
  • Buffy while working? Yes.
  • Psych? Yes.
  • MUDding? 100% this mud all the time.
  • Cat pics on discord? Fuck. Yes.
• Browsing pictures of Panko the dog.
