    Yes @Apple, when I type 'bluetoot', it's pretty clear that I'm looking for your "Bluetooth File Exchange" app that nobody has ever used in the history of computing, not the Bluetooth settings that I open nearly every day to connect my headphones.

    Hey @todoist / @Google - are you aware that searching for "todoist", first result is a very real looking Todoist link that goes to a phishing site?

    If you haven’t tried hiring for a role post ChatGPT, let me tell you, you’re in for a FUCKING TREAT.

    My random reminder for @github users that if you type a 't' when in a repo, you can lazy search for a filename path. I feel like nobody knows this but I use it maybe every day.

    Man, I got duped by all the comments into installing Raycast and guess what the first thing I did was...

    If you want to know the difference in Git between checkout, switch, reset and restore, I've made you a handy guide.

    It’s that entire applications are clearly generated, and now its a goddamn Blade Runner-esque Voight-Kampff test for every fucking entry.

    Got my awesome @github badge for @githubuniverse and started hacking on it. Anyone have any fun ideas?

    I've been frustrated by `git branch` for 15 years now, so I finally wrote a bash script that is what that command probably should be - ordered by last commit, ahead/behind info, descriptions. Download and set it up as an alias to live life how you deserve gist.github.com/schacon/e9e743…

    Man, RIP the GitHub office 3.0. That space was my baby. I'm sad in 100 different ways, but mostly for the amazing security team who have been there for years now and still recognize me on the rare occasions that I visit.

    I got @github Codespaces turned on for my org yesterday and I suck at Docker/ops stuff and I still got a full working dev env running in a few hours. We could hire someone tomorrow and have them click a button and have a running dev env in 20 minutes. Unbelievable.

    As the year comes to an end, I've been inspired by the #TeamTrees project and would like to see them cross the finish line. So for the next 24 hours, I’ll match every dollar donated to teamtrees.org up to $250,001! Help us plant 20 million trees before 2020!

    This is may be the most mind-blowing blog post I've ever read. This is a huge step to forever changing the way everyone develops software. "New hires can go from zero to a functioning development environment in less time than it takes to install Slack."
