git status --porcelain is a godsend for writing scripts.
From the man page:
--porcelain: Give the output in an easy-to-parse format for scripts. This is similar to the short output, but will remain stable across Git versions and regardless of user configuration.

I’m a nerd so I’m going back and reading all the books I had to read in AP English in high school to see how my perspective has changed as an adult. I’m almost done with Pride & Prejudice lol. Think I’ll start The Awakening next.

I made a thing!
I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev
It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃
Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
