ohmyzsh
🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 1800+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, OSX, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
I have ohmyzsh installed in my shell and find the Git information like branch, etc very helpful.

Hello everyone, my name is Thanh Cong Van, my friends usually call me Steven as my Vietnamese name is hard to pronounce. I am living in Toronto, due to the pandemic, I believe that some of my peers are living in different place right now. I am currently taking Computer Programming and Analysis at Seneca, all I want from my program is to have good skills on front-end development. People tend to love full stack development, however, I just want to focus on front-end since I found that is the one interested me the most. The reason why I pick OSD600 in this semester is because I have never worked on real big projects, and also I have never worked with a bunch of people. By taking this course, I strongly believe that I could improve my technical skills as well as communication skills. Personally, I really want to contribute to work on influential brands' online store such as Nike, Adidas because they will need lots of improvement for their web designs. I did a couple of researches about trending repo of this week, and the one that interested me the most is 30-seconds-of-code. It is basically about short Javascript code snippets for development needs. By using this, we do not need to think about writing a bunch of lines to create just only one function. This will make things become way easier than it used to be.

Project mention: Just looking for some help in choosing the best Java Tutorial. | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2021-07-17
Followed by more practice and then look into Design patterns - as a starter: https://java-design-patterns.com

Project mention: Should I learn Golang or use Ansible to delveop the operators? | reddit.com/r/kubernetes | 2021-08-19
What's great is there are really great patterns to follow out there on github (both code patterns https://github.com/tmrts/go-patterns and examples https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go https://github.com/go-kit/kit and for the app itself, https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout )... and for me a really naggy mentor who insists everything be "idiomatic go"

Cookiecutter is a command-line utility that creates projects from templates. There's a list of templates maintained by the cookiecutter team and plenty of community awesome lists. It's built with python and uses the jinja templating framework (found in python web frameworks like flask). You can use it to make a template for pretty much anything! All you need to get started is pip install cookiecutter.

Project mention: Interactive ability score probability calculator (precise results---not Monte Carlo) | reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG | 2021-09-20
I built this using Pyodide, Chart.js, and of course, my own hdroller Python library. A polynomial-time algorithm for keep-highest allows this calculator to deliver precise results at an interactive rate.

Project mention: Ask HN: What's your go to for quick and simple HTML/JS? | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-09-19
I really like Go Hugo (https://gohugo.io/), which compiles beautiful static sites super quickly from markdown. Still not exactly drag and drop but very simple and the default themes are very beautiful.

Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.
I went for a golden oldie: Ansible While I had worked with it before, it was mainly putting some roles together run the script and validate, manually, that it worked.

Tesseract OCR is a solid OCR tool. Looking at how it's built may inform your approach, and you may even be able to feed Tesseract's network outputs into your own model to improve it.

While I agree that Scrapy is a great tool for beginner tutorials and easy entry into scraping, it's becoming difficult to use it in real world scenarios because almost all the large players now employ some anti-bot or anti-scraping protection.
A great example above all is Cloudflare. You simply can't convince Cloudflare you're a human with Scrapy alone. Scrapy has only experimental support of HTTP2 and does not support proxies over HTTP2 (https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/issues/5213). Yet, all browsers use HTTP2 now, which means all normal users use HTTP2... You get the point.
What we use now is Got Scraping (https://github.com/apify/got-scraping). It's a special purpose extension of Got (HTTP client with 18 mil weekly downloads) that masks its HTTP communication as if it was coming from a real browser. Of course, this will not get you as far as Puppeteer or Playwright (headless browsers), but it improved our scraping tremendously. If you need a full crawling library, see the Apify SDK (https://sdk.apify.com) which uses Got Scraping under the hood.

A headless CMS like Strapi acts as a single source of content for your organization from which content can be assembled and published to as many channels as you choose. Strapi is a content-only backend repository that allows you to create content and provide it as data over an API to any of your choice of frontend technology.
