i was initially worried that this would be just another tool, but it actually looks like a pretty interesting and ergonomic take at a wrapper for common python dependency management workflow. excited to try it out

this article suggests shell allowed, but git also has a built-in feature for aliases itself. I prefer these as it allows you to keep using the git command normally (more consistent when you tend to use history search/auto-suggestions heavily).

running git config --global alias.st status, for example, will allow you to run git st as an alias for typing out the full git status (you can also manually add aliases to your ~/.gitconfig).

not sure about escape sequences just yet, but Kitty gives you insane control over font rendering https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/#fonts

might switch from alacritty to kitty almost just for this (although I've been meaning to for a while). the "immediately get scroll back into an nvim buffer to edit as a command" is pretty sweet

another way to start is to only do small configurations at first. as you code maybe you realize you want a tool that shows git diffs, install a plug-in that does that. over time, you gradually build your config. maybe you want to start using leader for custom key maps. a couple days later maybe you think you want a file picker so you add telescope. this 100% will take longer, but you'll intimately understand why every line in your config is there.

Having read some of the specific stories he's exaggerated; I feel I can empathize with some of them. For example he talks about how he felt when he was receiving death threats, and constructed a story that would be indicative of that feeling. however, in other stories he exaggerated events involving real people (his prospective date to the prom, for one) that his fans have identified and subsequently harassed.

celebrities have to be cognizant of this brigading effect they tend to have, even if they don't condone it, and it seems like Hasan has no remorse for the ways his exaggerations have hurt the real people involved in his stories.

neat write up, I've also run into some of the errors that ruff throws (eg don't use f strings in logging) but didn't really know why.

thought it was cool the author said feel free to implement in ruff in the foot notes

I'm struggling to see how bug reports found using this prediction approach would ever be sent as anything but bugs of the predictive debugger itself.

how would end-users ever see bugs caused by a debugger the devs use? how would users of a third-party library conflate bugs in their own code/the third-party code when you can see which lines are which as you debug?

it's so useful! I used to have some terrible setup going with branches for different OSes in my dotfiles, and chezmoi really simplified the whole thing

Great article. there was a even a response a year later https://medium.com/front-end-weekly/how-it-feels-to-learn-javascript-in-2017-a934b801fbe
