The Cursor Experience, With Neovim's Magic This issue is brought to you by: Auth0 lets you authenticate25,000 users for free! Get Started Here! The line between human and AI-assisted coding is becoming increasingly blurred. While VS Code (oh my god I mentioned it) users have been enjoying AI assistance through GitHub Copilot or better yet, “switching” to it’s popular fork - Cursor AI, which creates an “immersive” coding experience by literally having a conversation with the code base. With...

It was only two weeks ago that I felt like I’m on the bleeding edge of technology after realizing I’ve been ignoring fish shell and decided to give it a go. The pile of comments mentioning Nushell left me no choice, so today we’re checking it out, and trying to see whether it’s worth the switch, and for whom. Ever felt frustrated parsing JSON or CSV files in your terminal? I know I did. The traditional Unix shell treats everything as text streams, making it surprisingly hard to work with...

When it comes to terminal shells, many developers (myself included) have stuck with what they know or what they've seen others use online, without exploring other options. It's time to venture out and discover the world of terminal shells. Most developers are likely using Zsh, a POSIX-compatible shell, probably with Oh My Zsh on top. But there's a whole spectrum of shells out there, each with its own strengths and quirks. Today, we're going to explore three major players: Bash, Zsh, and Fish....

Hi friends, Ever felt like your remote pair programming sessions were missing that seamless, in-person collaboration feel? You’re not alone. Many developers struggle to recreate the magic of side-by-side coding in a virtual environment. A recent study shows that pair programming has been proven to catch mistakes early, reduce defects, and lead to better designs. The same study found that teams who practice pair programming not only produce shorter, more efficient code but also solve problems...

Hi friends, Are you tired of juggling multiple apps for note-taking and writing? Many of us struggle to find a seamless system that combines powerful text editing with effective note organization. While popular note-taking apps offer fancy features, they often fall short for those who prefer a keyboard-centric, or should I say Vim-centric workflow. Most people resort to using dedicated note-taking applications like Obsidian, Notion, or even Apple notes. These tools are great for casual users,...

Hi friends, The Dotfiles Dilemma Ever felt like your computer settings are scattered everywhere? Those pesky dotfiles that control how your programs look and work can be a real headache to manage. The Old Way: Git and Stow Many of us have tried using Git to track changes in our dotfiles. Some even use Stow to create symlinks. But let's be honest – it's not always smooth sailing.
