I have to admit I have also switched back to real paper for a lot of tasks but I still like the remarkable as an e-reader, and enjoy writing on it occasionally, so I wouldn't say it's a big regret.

find [...] - exec [...] {} +

as opposed to

find [...] - exec [...] {} \;

worked fine and was performant enough for my use-case. An example command was

find . -type f -name "*.html" -exec sed -i '' -e 's/\.\.\/\.\.\/\.\.\//\.\.\/\.\.\/\.\.\/source\//g' {} +

which took about 20s to run

These tools are things I've used before but always found painful and confusing. Being able to ask Gippity for detailed explanations of what is happening, in particular being able to paste a failing command and have it explain what the problem is, has been a game changer.

In general, for those of us who never had a command line wizard colleague or mentor to show what is possible, LLMs are an absolute game changer both in terms of recommending tools and showing how to use them.

:S/textToFind

matching all of textToFind TextToFind texttofind TEXTTOFIND

But not TeXttOfFiND.

Golly!

Basically in vim to substitute text you'd usually do something with :substitute (or :s), like:

:%s/textToSubstitute/replacementText/g

...and have to add a pattern for each differently-cased version of the text.

With the :Subvert command (or :S) you can do all three at once, while maintaining the casing for each replacement. So this:

textToSubstitute

TextToSubstitute

texttosubstitute

:%S/textToSubstitute/replacementText/g

...results in:

replacementText

ReplacementText

replacementtext

Given the choice between two persons of equal competence, where one is nice and one is not, I would be surprised if anybody chose the less nice one, all other things being equal.

I suggest continuing to be genuine, rather than focusing on "niceness", and not allowing a single comment on the internet to make you feel self-conscious about your character.

My point is, it definitely happens, but if it applies to _most_ PR comments I think the code review practices of your project may need improving. My experience has been that most code review comments are either seeking to impart or gain knowledge that the commenter genuinely finds useful.

Try: nothing.

Surely the delta in terms of earnings at FAANG vs literally anywhere else is not worth this kind of horror – can anybody explain? Or do people just not find out until it's too late?
