Back Into It

February 14, 2018

I am getting back into it.

Hot Takes

  • a single cli command that opens all my things back to a previous state

    • open sesame 👈 I feel like explaining workflow by telling someone “Then you open sesame and …” would be pretty fun.

  • I need a tab manager

  • I need everything.now to be working better ― I guess mostly more feature work. But not only. It’s essential UX stuff, that is keeping me from using it.

  • Fix my code commands (for opening Visual Studio Code)

  • I feel like I am only excited about many of my projects when I am a certain level of high.

  • I need a better way to {organize, group}? windows and tabs into project-focused windows.

I like to leave behind trails of fun in my codebases. 🍬🍬🍬🍬🗺

I need to do more things more quickly, and then edit more things more often. More is a funny word.

I am about to go down a domain hole. Rabbit hole to the rescue! This would be a great opportunity to have rabbit holes be embeddable.

Wheew. Made it out. 😵

I feel like I am getting more into virtual machines} as I {think, speak?.

Ok. I should focus on Fourth Person / Box Man / ? now.

It would be☝️kind of cool if the backend were written with Phoenix Channels. Maybe a bit overboard? Maybe not. It’s all gonna have to be measured eventually. Focus now!

Can I yet use |> pipes in javascript yet with babel?

I’d like to set a goal of writing (more).

Fuck I’ve just spent over an hour just trying to make this thing work again. My writing tool I mean. Ughh. Okay now it will is just not reloading in the browser unless I restart the gatsby server.

Hot reloading is working once again!

It’s weird how things break seemingly randomly and then somehow magically work again.
