I’m super happy to see more products popping up in this category. However that looks terrible to type on though. Flat, low and barely any stagger. Also it kind of looks like a toaster. Idk. Not for me I guess, hehe. But still, a good sign!
Agree, I actually wrote a multiline dual sided powerline inspired prompt with modular segments (info from git/pyenv etc) in bash exactly to get these fancy shiny things without having to introduce new dependencies. I log into any server, pull my config and bob’s your uncle. (Btw, that expression is so weird). Ofc, to have the powerline look I would need custom fonts on the client terminal but I usually don’t enable them as I’ve added other “themes” instead.
If you had bothered to notice that other people do things differently you’d realize that some of us always skim a text before deciding on if it’s worth our attention. Sometimes we win by not wasting our time, sometimes you win by reading something interesting that looked boring on the surface. Don’t be so judgmental.
But with regards to purely technical stuff like what tools to choose and how to use them you’ll need experience, either your own or someone elses. There’s really no replacement in my opinion. I had loads of experienced people around me previously, but now that I work more or less alone in the field I rely a lot on community slack channels for the various tools and debugging. It’s amazing to be stuck trying to figure out how to best use Loki for logging, jump on their slack and get advice from the Lead Engineer working on the tool. Or getting input on what tools to use from 50 different people in different companies through /r/devops on reddit.
Great points, and I agree. But… As someone with ADHD one of the less talked about problems is remembering things that aren’t happening right now. Friends and family are the biggest problems in this category. And friends eventually stop reaching out because I just don’t think about contacting them without there being a specific reason for doing so. It’s not because I don’t care, it just doesn’t come up in my busy brain. And the few times I do remember they’re almost shocked that I reached out.
It is very painful to lose friends you care about. It’s much worse to lose them because you made them feel unimportant by not staying in touch. An app like this could really help in that way. Just by being the nudge to start the interaction.
