A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams
It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

Which 2nd language should I learn?
Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa

What's your favorite Go architecture for a new micro-service? Here's mine...

macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.
Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.
For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

List of apps I use every day - Version 2023
fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.

Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'
That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep
Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar.
As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it.

Tell HN: Please don't print –help to stderr in your CLI tools
For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height):
