C fellas really do be out here naming their functions `htons` or `ntohl` smh

Building our FE app at work takes upwards of 20 minutes... Is this normal for a modern React app?

My collection of old DEC tradeshow buttons is growing!!

Apple's restrictions on running binaries downloaded from the Web really emphasized to me how important it is to have open and available sources. We should always try to ship code that can be built by users from source.

Ron Howard: It was _not_ the tool he needed to avoid doing all manual OpenAPI YAML wrangling

Ok let's see if this is the tool I needed to avoid doing all this manual OpenAPI YAML wrangling...

Ok but what is people's aversion to trying new apps/platforms? Even my tech minded friends will balk at the thought of installing an app that's CLEARLY better than what they're using now. Porque??¿¿

Ok... Goland is actually a really nice IDE. I admit it.

I'll soon be embarking on a way to optimize my "office" space in my new apartment. Gonna be looking for some very minimal monitor and desk setups

#TIL Press 't' when on a github repo's web page to activate the file finder!

Day 3 and I've still maintained inbox 0... We'll see how long it lasts lol

Dang a fella really gotta learn about k8s and containers now

#oneliner for pretty printing PATH:

tr ':' '\n' <<< "$PATH"

omg I'd totally forgotten about `printf`! If nothing else, trying to get this tilde server off the ground has helped _me_ get better at doing things the UNIX way.

pages.txt holds a newline separated list of the page names that I want to generate (index, codeofconduct, etc). We iterate over this list, using comrak (https://lib.rs/crates/comrak) to convert the MD to HTML, which is dumped in a temp file. The temp file is then `cat`ed together with the header and footer templates, which are just the top and bottom pieces of an HTML file.

Problem solved, in a very UNIXy way!

```
#!/bin/sh
pages=`cat ./pages.txt`
for page in $pages;
do
$(which comrak) $page.md > $page.temp.html
cat header.template $page.temp.html footer.template > $page.html
done
rm *.temp.html
```

Holy moly. I just want to take a Markdown file, a simple HTML template file, and generate some webpages. Is that too much to ask?? All the template engines and SSGs are trying to give me everything and the kitchen sink, which I don't need. Please tell me I won't have to write this myself...

Oh lookie! I might follow along with this, but write it in Go. I wanna use this as a chance to brush up on my Go skills, since it looks like I'll be using it at work quite a bit. Thankfully Go has a nice API for tty things.

Ok, after reading this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/21752/what-s-the-difference-between-a-raw-and-a-cooked-device-driver
cooked vs raw makes more sense. So I guess I have to use raw mode and hook up my own functions to handle certain keypresses instead of the terminal handling them

This seems as good a place to start as any!

Ok, the line at the tag office is awfully long so I'm gonna start looking into how to make a basic text editor, inspired by https://web.eecs.utk.edu/~azh/blog/challengingprojects.html
