Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
kanata[1] and komokana[2].
kanata is basically like QMK for any keyboard without the firmware requirement. I use kanata with my trusty old iMac keyboard which is to this day my favourite keyboard of all time. But now I have all the cool QMK-style layers with it.
So that is awesome on its own, but where it gets even better for me, and this is where the seconds have really added up to hours, is that I wrote another piece of software which programmatically changes layers on kanata whenever a different window is focused in my tiling window manager.
This has honestly changed -everything- for me. I no longer have to waste keys on my keyboard to switch layers, I no longer have to -think- about switching layers, I just focus another window with alt+hjkl and whatever keyboard layer I expect for any given application is automatically applied. Definitely one of those "you can never go back" experiences for me.

ErgodoxE EZ โ an ergonomic keyboard with open source firmware
I have an Ergodox EZ sitting collecting dust these days. I got a great deal of use out of it and before long I was compiling my own firmware and making use of various advanced QMK features that were not available through the online visual layer configuration tool.
The keyboard has great build quality, the customer service is great (I got a free replacement for the right half after an issue with one of the keys), the ortholinear layout isn't that difficult to get used to, but ultimately the issue for me was that my hands aren't big enough to use the keyboard comfortably or to type as accurately as I'd like / as I'm used to typing.
I'm now back on my Apple Magic Keyboard and happier than ever, though with a few tweaks and improvements taken from my time using the Ergodox EZ.
I am now using kanata[1] which allows me to have multiple QMK-style layers on my regular old keyboard. This is already a huge step up from my pre-Ergodox days! I also like that I can have my layer configurations version controlled in a plain old git/dotfiles repo.
Since the layers are handled at the software level, I wrote my own integration with kanata, called komokana[2] to switch keyboard layers programmatically based on different state events emitted from my tiling window manager[3].
What that means in practice is that my keyboard can automatically switch to an app-specific layer when that app's window is focused, or to a workspace specific layer, or to a browser tab-specific layer, or really just switch on any event emitted by the window manager or any specific window manager state.
For me, this is really the killer feature of my setup now, and one that I don't think would be anywhere near as easy to implement with QMK which sits at the hardware level.

Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
Going to say my own https://github.com/boyter/scc/ which I have used to turn down projects of "Oh we just need to do X"
It allows me to evaluate the code-base quickly and see where potential issues are, and find hidden complexity in the code. I have said no a lot due to it. The only reason it exists was because I got caught out from another project, which wasted months of my time.
Otherwise IntelliJ and the JetBrains IDE's in general.

Building a custom code search index in Go for searchcode.com
Very cool to see this here, Ben! It was fun beating the ins and outs of your work on this in the TZ discord.
Also, off-topic but as you know, I recently tried out your scc tool and am eagerly awaiting its support for Elixir templates (.eex, .heex)!

[media] Onefetch v2.13 is typically 2x faster and now supports ~100 programming languages
I believe tokei is the best rust option as of now, but despite my burning passion for rust I've switched to using scc instead as I find it faster and more convenient. Not really an option for you if you're trying to bake line counting into the binary, obviously.

Incremental Parsing in Go
I've seen some real world example where Go was as fast or faster than Rust for CPU / io intensive task.
Go is a fast language even with a GC.

Large project uses Rust backend. My backend developer left. How hard is it for me to learn Rust and take over for him.
I don't trust your qualitative "LARGE" for the project. I would recommend you pass your project through something like a software metrics tool https://github.com/boyter/scc to better measure what you're up against in terms of Flutter/Dart AND Rust code base.
