@devCraigWatt git checkout -b "new-branch", git commit -am "message" (save some steps 😁)

Not that I post much, but this is me here 😅 (yes, Twitter is censoring the elephant. I can't post the direct link) https://mastodon[dot]nz/@simon2k6

@jetbrains WSL2 enhancements look great. I'll have to retry WebStorm again (already a Rider user.)

@cognitivewin @DyIanReeve @elonmusk Might be paid in LoC (Lines of Cheese)

Retina saver using Edge for #Android in edge://flags. Also works if apps are using webview (such as Twitter) and Edge is your default system webview. AFAIK this also works for Chrome at chrome://flags

@ThePracticalDev Finally, there are your Docker options where you actually run a production-like instance and can tear it down. This is my preferred (swinging along the spectrum based on what the test requires) but it depends on what your technology allows (3/3)

[Simon Campbell @simon2k6]

@ThePracticalDev There is your shared server option, where a production-like *server* is available and you can provision transient DBs for testing (3/n)

.@code Dev Containers is a cool technology; I wanted to tinker with @rustlang and within a few minutes I have a new environment. This environment includes all tooling and some recommended extensions to get me going!

@lady_nerd There are some fact sheets here (incl. archived data), you might have to pre-process it

@stephenreeves @NewWorld @CountdownNZ I thought Covid took a break for in-store tastings 🤣🤔

@DavidGollogly @sobri @RichardHills_ Thanks for setting me straight. Given the context, it seems the page I cited is out of date.

The quality of Covid messaging and advice has really taken a tumble this year.

@MarusykRoman Hmm, pretty cool but I don't like that the docs on ToString() don't guarantee JSON, or there's no explicit ToJson() which does guarantee this. It seems like encouraging JSON string serialisation is not the goal of this class?

@hhariri The Foo Fighters, Audioslave, Incubus?

@JustinSaaS @thenocodepro One thing people forget to weigh up: automation is not simply about time saving. Sometimes it is about ensuring reliability and consistency.

[Simon Campbell @simon2k6]

@covid19nz @Nez99 Huh, interesting, the tests we have at home say not to use on <2 years old 🤷‍♂️

@NZRestockAlerts Argh. Got one in my cart, all details entered... Hit pay and the website wouldn't accept payment 😩
