Re:Ask HN: Books you read in 2023 and recommend for 2024 on Thursday December 07, 2023 @10:06AM (#38557163)
Love this book. It's not set in any of the D&D universes as far as I'm aware, though it is very clearly influenced by the fantasy trappings of D&D
What an odd reply. Where possible, I will try and support independent technology makers, often even if that means it's a slightly worse/different product.

Just because you're cynical and jaded, doesn't mean that everyone else is. You're not giving a factual reality check, you're just being an ass

Slight tangent, but you're OFTEN coding from a bus stop?! Why?

This article has broken my brain. I read this and stared at it like "this isn't a palindrome? What are you on about?"

Sure! I have some snippets for common note taking formats and templates I use in Obsidian, like if I want to put a little "read later" section, or I want to specify next week/month/whatever without looking at a calendar. Basically, if I find myself writing something with any regularity or if it's anything that can be very easily computed, I think about making an Espanso shortcut for it!

I'm forever surprised how much this has improved my day to day working life. Simple things like having to input test email addresses and passwords on our dev environment repeatedly, or typing out addresses, or scaffolding basic scripts and code, or massively speeding up note taking. Genuinely worth digging in to.

I saw a post on r/ProgrammerHumor a while back saying something along the lines of "why does no one make jokes about C# here" and the replies were all the same - there's nothing particularly funny, and all the users are quietly plugging away at their corporate jobs. Made me chuckle.
