Current work status: getting way too into writing custom ESLint rules. I just wrote my first fixer, and it does clever things about indentation that it should probably not be doing 😅 #webdev #javascript #programming

I grew up with the Rush Limbaugh show as a regular fixture in the house and on the car ride to school and back.

He was a vile human who utterly and thoroughly committed his life to making the world a worse, more selfish place, and was sadly rather successful at doing so.

Good riddance, he shall not be missed. I'm glad his ability to affect and infect our world directly is no more.

I'm not an afterlife kinda guy, but may his legacy forever be nothing but a mark of shame, may his memory be forgotten except as a warning.

We use a platform called Aptible at work that I use somewhat infrequently.

Thanks to a wide range of sci-fi stories, I invariably try to type it as "ansible" the first couple times and have to stare at the screen for a few seconds to remember what the heck our deployment platform is actually called.

Now I wanna read Hyperion again. Also, I just looked it up and (re-)learned that the term was originally coined by LeGuin, rad!

Also, disclaimers: this is for a very limited-scope one-off bash kludge, I do not care how robust it is, and also please never do this in any context where someone else might have to read your code. I guarantee there's a built-in or readily-available library method in practically every language to do this. Heck, there might be a standard bash util I'm not aware of!

Much of my early coding was in Perl, so I have been writing regular expressions for well over a decade now, and as a result am very good at reading and writing them. None of that means they feel one bit less like arcane magic.

This brought to you by my quick and dirty snake-case to CamelCase conversion:

perl -p -e 's/\b-?(\w)/\U\1/g'

Like, it works and I can parse it out but is sure is impenetrable at first glance for such a simple transformation!

(I strongly prefer the second - the short version is that worrying about extra spaces in the DOM is optimizing for tidiness in the stuff we don’t see or care about, at the cost of tidiness in the stuff we do see and care about)

Discovered today I have a surprisingly strong opinion on

<div class="foo{{if cond " bar" " baz"}}">
vs
<div class="foo {{if cond "bar" "baz"}}">

...fortunately I _think_ I'm the only one on the team with a _strong_ opinion, and I can express it well 😅
