my favorite tool; makes writing a bash fun for me.

you could also just write as if you're writing go:

function main {

  if ! failing_cmd; then
    log "this fails!"
    return 1
  fi

  log "this won't log"

}

main

I only mention this because there are folks who don't like set -e.

reddit and youtube were my last remaining social platforms. quit reddit because of the API changes. might be quitting youtube, as well, because of the ads. and then there'll be nothing left for me to spend time on except code and family.

most fun I've had with a programming language in years

good ole find, grep, sed, and jq.

the main thing that allows me to be productive with "only" vim is, funnily enough, things outside vim: bash knowledge. search, for instance, I can usually do in flexible ways with a pipeline of commands.

I wouldn't mind this, honestly. a game can be solid even on an old engine. just look at how long the Monster Hunter series had been on their old engine before overhauling with World.

it's so much easier to glue tools together with it. I'd end up writing more code if I had used python's subprocess package or ruby's IO package. as long as I don't need a complex data structure of some sort.

would've liked something like this on hugo

You can!

huh. TIL, that's pretty cool. guess I know what I'm doing next weekend..

>Knowing that I had two offers, and that I had gone through a very long process with them and having received an offer, I knew that I was a candidate they'd like to hire. This is the perfect time to get that extra worth, as you hold a lot of the chips, especially with two offers.

This has always been really hard for me to do, particularly if I actually am happy with the offer. It could be imposter syndrome, where I often feel like I don't "deserve" it.

I would try to disassociate my work income from my personal worth as a worker. We always leave some money on the table, but can always do all the steps we can to reduce how much we are leaving on it.

In case I have an offer that I'm actually happy with, personally I'm the opposite. I already reached my expected range, failing to negotiate for more doesn't worry me so I can do it more confidently, which may kind of help me in a way. Don't ask for too little tho, they may notice they can get you less than what you are asking by holding firm.
