Do you REALLY use ~/Work/Code/Repos path? even with CDPATH configured I would use lowercase folders. I'm just a console/terminal user :D

I wrote about this too https://lesterzone.github.io/blog/2023/01/10/git-work-person...

I consider this type of 'tips' hidden gems

Re:Ask HN: What game do you wish existed? on Wednesday May 25, 2022 @11:47AM (#31506218)
I would like something missions-like where the game rewards only a player who took specific steps and then other players can't reproduce. Obviously it will require thousands of good rewards. The idea is that people can play for the sake of having something nobody can get.

I'm using a small command line tool developed in go,

I have a base.md file and when I run personal init will open a new file for 'today' using base.md

I can also create a post/note/idea even mind map using markdown.

I've been using plain text for about 3 years, totally recommend it.

bonus tip, I use grep to find content in my files. and yes, I have a personal backup command :D

Re:Consuming Articles Offline on Thursday December 30, 2021 @08:50PM (#29743926)
I use Kindle integrated with Pocket. Once a week I get a mini ebook from crofflr Only articles tagged with 'read' will get to my Kindle. Once a day I quick scan feedly and save articles in Pocket via Firefox extension. I do have a lot of articles, but, I like it. I believe the content should be available. I use this method to read book summaries when it is worth it.

If you use Kindle you can use https://www.crofflr.com/
bonus, https://www.crofflr.com/ will mark your link as read once it gets to your Kindle.
Pocket! https://getpocket.com/ but, there's one more thing. Kindle Paperwhite ( because I bought that one ). Then mark every link with an specific tag, let's say `read`, then, go to https://www.crofflr.com/ and link Pocket so you receive an weekly ebook! Then enjoy!
