   I think this is a good point. As somewhat of a tangent I have vaguely been thinking of the difference between copy pasting and explicitly extending for a bit.

   It seems that in many cases, adapting copy pasted code has some benefits over importing and adjusting some library code. https://ui.shadcn.com/ is an example of going the copy paste direction. It seems to me this is preferable when tweaking the exact behaviour is more important than keeping up to date with upstream or adhering to an exact standard. If you customize the behaviour a lot the extra abstraction layer only gets in the way. This insight might be a bit mundane.

3. gitlab

   Spoken like someone who has not tried what you are describing. There are two moving parts to your response: a locally hosted runner awaits jobs from GitLab itself, which doesn't help running _locally_, and the other part is that --back when it existed! -- trying $(gitlab-runner exec) was not a full fledged implementation of the GitLab CI concepts, making it the uncanny valley of "run something locally."

   However, as of v16 there is no more exec https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/385235 which I guess is good and bad. Good in that it not longer sets improper expectations that it could have plausibly done anything, and bad in that now it joins GitHub Actions in not having any _local_ test strategy aside from "boot up gitlab/gitlab-ce && echo good luck"

4. nushell

   A new type of shell

   

   > Another example is jq. I use it occasionally, and ChatGPT handles the syntax pretty well. For me, learning it properly just isn’t worth the time or effort.

   This resonates with me, I was in exactly the same position when I needed to do something with `kubectl` JSON output - just ask ChatGPT because I couldn't be bothered to learn the unintuitive syntax.

   Interestingly I _can_ blame the tool, because I started using Nushell[1] which has built-in JSON manipulation that provides a MUCH simpler syntax, and I have learnt this properly because it was that easy.
