Git worktrees are awesome but they broke my workflow in a couple ways:

Resuming work. I used to `j ` then `gco `. Now if I do that I get an error about the branch being checked out already in another worktree. I realized the branch names are pretty unique across repos so I made ` jbr ` that works from anywhere.

Jumping within repo. The other kink was when I wanted to focus on a particular package I’d do `j ` and it would usually be unique enough to jump to the one in my current checkout. But now I have dozens of concurrent checkouts and have to pick, even though I’m already in the repo. So `jd ` does like autojump or zoxide but only within the current checkout.

To power those shell functions I made a “where” extension for Git.

It’s working out nicely!

Execa package works nicely for that. Zx has a good DX but is YA runtime.

New comment by turadg in "What's the Deal with Magnetic Fields?"

turadg — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 16:48:10 +0000

I was on a date when she asked “do you like magnetic fields?”. “Yes!” and we were both smitten.

Took us a few conversational turns to realize we had different capitalization. (This was in the old days when courting was mostly by speaking in person.)

New comment by turadg in "Google Jigsaw study finds Gen Z folk heuristics of credibility"

turadg — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 15:17:46 +0000

« Gen Zers, it turns out, are "not on a linear journey to evaluate the veracity of anything." Instead, they're engaged in what the researchers call "information sensibility" — a "socially informed" practice that relies on "folk heuristics of credibility." In other words, Gen Zers know the difference between rock-solid news and AI-generated memes. They just don't care. »
