I've been using ripgrep for about 2 years now and I find in indispensable. The main reason I switched from grep was ease of use. From the README: "By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files." Typing `rg search_term directory` is much better than the corresponding grep command, but the speed improvement is also a nice bonus.

Random other helpful flag I use often is -M if any of the matches are way too long to read through and cause a lot of terminal chaos. Just add `-M 1000` or adjust the number for your needs and the really long matches will omit the text context in the results.

Ohh, that makes sense, thanks! If I owned AirPods or really any comparable product I probably would have understood right away.

So only 12 hours of total use? Hoping it's a typo or not what it sounds like.

In the context of such a short post, the fact the author mentions going for "a run" twice doesn't seem trivial to me.

Going for "a run" has become such an integral part of "work" for me (software eng), I consider my career choices one of the main factors in my subsequently becoming a distance runner.

I began my foray into software development almost 5 years ago, and in the last 2 - not unconnectedly also my first 2 years working 100% remotely - I've run 2 half marathons (officially, several more in training), a marathon relay, a 10k, and just a couple of weeks ago my first marathon.

Bragging about this because with all the time spent training I developed an even deeper connection between the "work" (solving whatever current problem for my job) and the time I spend running. At this point I often deliberately wait to go for the run until I've really got my mind around the code/feature/bug I'm working on. Once I'm actually moving, I don't really try and actively think about it, but more often than not at some point on my run something will click, and I'll return to my desk with a clearer path forward.
