I'd argue you should be working towards no longer having to do these because agentic systems in place will do it in your stead.

All you need to do now, is sign off the code and adjust the agent so it would do these as you would.

Hey, in the EU we don't have that crappy Apple Intelligence, but at least we have alternative App Stores. :o) Governments can go both ways!
Why?

We do. Though we make sure to stay on the previous major. So we’ll only upgrade to PostgreSQL 15 when 16 is released.

Ergo, is JavaScript deplorable?
I went for:

    function mdless() {
      pandoc -s -f markdown -t man $1 | groff -T utf8 -man | less
    }
    umedit() { mkdir -p ~/.notes; vim ~/.notes/$1; }
    um() { mdless ~/.notes/"$1"; }
    umls() { ls ~/.notes }
This way I can write the notes in markdown and view them as such in `less`.

If you use your terminal all day, do yourself a favor and learn readline shortcuts [1]. Once you have you might stop overwriting these, because imho C-a is a terrible prefix and very handy to move to the beginning of a line.
