Consistently being able to quickly output an image in the terminal turns out to be a major headache for people who use different terminal emulators on different systems. This zsh function is my current best attempt (code in alt text).

#terminal #productivity
A screenshot of the following ZSH function: function imgcat() { if [[ -n "$KITTY_OS" ]]; then # https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/icat/ kitten icat "$1" elif [[ -n "$WEZTERM_PANE" ]]; then # https://wezterm.org/imgcat.html wezterm imgcat "$1" elif [[ -n "$ITERM_SESSION_ID" ]]; then # https://iterm2.com/documentation-images.html, through timg timg -pi "$1" elif [[ -n "$GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR" ]]; then # Ghostty uses Kitty's protocol, which timg can output timg -pk "$1" else # If all else fails, try sixel timg -ps "$1" fi }

I like consistent colors in my terminal, and I like #OCaml, so I threw together a quick Nord color scheme for utop:

git.sr.ht/~citizen428/nord-utop
The following example code in a utop session show in the Nord colorscheme. # let rec sum = function | [] -> 0 | hd :: tl -> hd + sum tl;; val sum : int list -> int = <fun> # #show sum;; val sum : int list -> int # "Hello, " ^ "OCaml " ^ "World!";; - : string = "Hello, OCaml World!" # 1/0;; Exception: Division_by_zero. # 1 + "string";; Error: This constant has type string but an expression was expected of type int

Finalized the schedule for RubyConf Thailand 2026. It's not online yet, unfortunately, but that's someone else's job. 😈

Three-panel Sailor Moon meme: Tuxedo Mask dramatically declares "My job here is done" and swooshes his cape. Sailor Moon responds "But you didn't do anything." The final panel shows Tuxedo Mask vanishing into the darkness.
