I read Addy Osmani’s announcement on LinkedIn, and wanted to give it a try myself.

Coming from Google, I had high hopes.

As per Google, it is improved version of, and will replace Project IDX.

While I have not used Project IDX in past, Firebase Studio looks like hosted VS Code.

I came across a LinkedIn post here where the author asked ChatGPT to create a fake Aadhar card, and a fake US Green Card.

For later, ChatGPT added “For Fictional Use only” in the image, and wouldn’t remove it when asked to.

So such “security concern” for the Aadhar Card.

Here is my take on it.

When solving errors4.rs exercise of rustlings, I initially used nested if/else. It helps with readability.

While the solution was correct, clippy suggested following:

help: consider rewriting the if chain with match: match value.cmp(&0) {...}

I had used match only with various possible values (mostly from Enum) and thus was unfamiliar with value.cmp(&0) approach.

Recently there was an article on LinkedIn about how debugger statement was left in the production code (front end javascript) and thus user could not move forward.

People commented about the code review.

But why invest manual efforts when such things can be automated ? See #4 in the list below.

pre-commit hook is an under appreciated (dare I say, unknown) feature of git

As the name suggests, set of commands/scripts can be executed before git commit

After learning (and I’m still learning) basics of Rust, I decided that I need to work on real world project to get better understanding of the language and face real problems 😄

Introducing snb ¹ - Superfast notes from the terminal 🎉

I’ve been using Linux Mint for a while now.

I started using linux because my machine stopped getting macOS updates.

But I always wanted something as stable as macOS

Initially I tried Tuxedo OS.

While it looked nice, there were tiny issues that I couldn’t ignore.

Turns out it is very easy if using clap

I’m so happy that my PR ¹ to a new and upcoming #rust framework called Cot was merged yesterday.

@m4tx - Thanks for accepting my contribution 🙏

I’ve been using Linux on my old MBP since November of last year.

I started with OpenSUSE

After using it for a month or so, I switched to Tuxedo OS 4 It is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS but ships with latest KDE Plasma 6.

I meant to write about it, but didn’t ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I used it for 3+ months.

It was more mainstream than OpenSUSE (because of its Ubuntu base)

But there were paper cuts. Things that are not show stoppers, but minor incoviniences that add up over time. (I’ll write about it separately, maybe)

#TIL in #rustlang we can use any variable name (starting with _) in ignore path of match
