Sick of MacOS's `.DS_Store` files ending up in your zip archives? Create your archive from the command line and exclude hidden & metadata files.

`zip -r https://t.co/7IJ4IGM8pi . -x "**/.*" -x "**/__MACOSX"`

View archive contents:
`zip -sf https://t.co/7IJ4IGM8pi | sort`

This extension is for those of us hooked on YouTube's ability to adjust playback speed and can't handle watching videos elsewhere at 1x.

(Pro tip: Give it a shot the next time work assigns you an hour+ long compliance module.)

Just seen a bossy ad implying that you need to eat fish to get enough omega-3 to be healthy. You don’t. The fish don’t make it. They get it from the algae that they eat, and we can get it directly from algae too.

@DarknetDiaries Great episode!
Toward the end you said you would post a link to your recommended password manager in the snow notes, but I don't it. Can you tell me what one you recommend?

A surprisingly helpful set of command line tips & tricks.

I see these types of articles pop up from time to time and they're usually either too rudimentary or too esoteric, but I found a lot of value in this one.

Command line pro tip:
Stop irrevocably deleting files & folders with `rm` and start using the `trash` utility. It utilizes you OS's trash where files can be restored if necessary.

Install: `npm install -g trash-cli`
Usage: `trash <file_or_directory>`

TIL this Z-shell pro tip:
Run the command `-` (just a hyphen) to cd to the previous directory. It's like the "previous" button on a TV remote ... you know, back when channels were a thing. =)

From @wesbos's free Command Line Power User course.

I find so much wisdom in this excerpt from @sandimetz's book. It has made me a better developer.

"When the future cost of doing nothing is the same as the current cost, postpone the decision. Make the decision only when you must with the information you have at that time."

I finally found a simple, open source clipboard manager for MacOS that stays out of your way when you don't need it and just works.

With @clipyApp you can copy more than one thing at a time without losing the first one.

brew install clipy

I just discovered my new favorite way to host my OpenAPI (Swagger) docs for my RESTful APIs. Keep them in your project repo and let GitHub pages do the hosting!

@syntaxfm
Thank you for fixing your RSS feed so all episodes are accessible back to the first one!

I'm using GraphQL at work for the first time and was able to learn about it via one of your earliest episodes on my drive to the office. Thank you!
