    The Missing Semester of Your CS Education 📚

  • jq

    Discontinued Command-line JSON processor [Moved to: https://github.com/jqlang/jq] (by stedolan)

  • I would add jq to the data wrangling section https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

    Being moderately competant at jq on a team that doesn't know jq is a super power.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • KeenWrite

    Discontinued Free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown text editor with live preview, string interpolation, and math.

  • > have lamented my LaTeX being utterly useless

    ConTeXt integrates Lua. KeenWrite[0] is my text editor that converts Markdown to XHTML then pipes that XML document into ConTeXt for typesetting[1]. ConTeXt does an amazing job of keeping presentation logic separated from the content. Meaning, once you've created a theme template, it's easy to pick it back up to create new ones.

    There's a video series showing how to use KeenWrite.[2]
