It’s Friday, and while the week’s been a blur of commits, standups, and “why isn’t this working?” — the weekend is my space to explore, break, build, and maybe not open Jira for a hot minute.
So here’s what’s going into my Friday Stack Pack this weekend:
🧪 1. Tool to Try: tldr
Because typing man gives me anxiety.
TLDR pages give simplified, community-driven man pages — perfect for when you just want examples, not a novel.
brew install tldr
tldr curl
It’s like Stack Overflow… without scrolling past 17 answers first.
🐚 2. OMZ Plugin I'm Playing With: zsh-interactive-cd
I'm a sucker for terminal polish. This plugin lets you cd into folders with fuzzy navigation + previews.
git clone https://github.com/chitoku-k/fzf-zsh-interactive-cd.git \
${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/fzf-zsh-interactive-cd
Then add it to your .zshrc plugins list.
Terminal productivity? Boosted. Ego? Inflated.
📚 3. Article I Bookmarked But Still Haven’t Read
“Write Code That Is Easy to Delete, Not Easy to Extend” – @matklad
https://programmingisterrible.com/post/139222674273/write-code-that-is-easy-to-delete-not-easy-to
I’ve seen this quoted on Twitter, Mastodon, and probably scrawled in a staff engineer’s notebook.
Every time I refactor something and it spirals, I remember this article…
And yet, I still haven’t finished it.
Maybe this weekend. Maybe next Friday.
🧠 4. Mini Hackathon With Myself
Goal: Build a tiny CLI tool that lets me search my browser history from terminal.
Stretch goal: Not abandon it halfway through and rename the repo to cli-experiments-dead.
Tech stack? Python, sqlite3, and probably way too many print statements.
💤 5. Absolutely No Plans For:
Refactoring anything in prod
Reading a Notion doc longer than 500 words
Deploying. Anything. Ever. On. A. Weekend.
✅ Your Turn!
What’s in your stack pack this weekend?
A new framework? A long-awaited side project? Or just catching up on sleep?

Until then — happy tinkering!
