    Don't remember if I shared this little nugget before, but I <3 my mkcd shortcut. function mkcd () { mkdir -p "$@" && eval cd "\"\$$#\""; } so: mkcd ~/Sites/company/project is the same as: mkdir -p ~/Sites/company/project cd ~/Sites/company/project

    I've used a MacBook Pro with a touch bar for the last 3 months. As a developer, using my laptop for everyday use, I now have extensive experience using it. Because of this, I'm now in the position to give a detailed expert review: I fucking hate the touch bar.

    Developers will create overcomplicated stuff and then explain it to other developers, who then are impressed because of the complexity and compliment the person who created this complex thing by calling them smart or whatever. We celebrate the wrong fucking things.

    Everybody is hiring Software Developers, nobody is hiring Software Maintainers. You know, just an observation.
