Recommending similar projects helps everyone, including the creator of the project. Knowing your competition enough to recommend them forces you to be clear about what truly differentiates you.
> When you show up as a marketer and say, “I need to sell you this because my commission is on the line. I need to sell you this because I’ve decided this is what I do for a living.” You’re not showing any empathy. You’re being a selfish, short-term narcissist, which is what most marketers are.
> You show up and say, “It sounds like you need this. My competitor sells that. Here’s their phone number.” You’re being a human.
> If you’re not willing to eagerly recommend a competitor who sells a solution you don’t sell, then we’ve gotten to the truth of who you are and what you’re seeking to do. If you are willing to do that, then there is somebody for who you have the right solution. Find that person. Don’t try to persuade the other people that they’re wrong.

> Syntax highlighting is juvenile. When I was a child, I was taught
arithmetic using colored rods
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisenaire_rods). I grew up and today I
use monochromatic numerals.

There's a powerlessness to using Android.
It's difficult to just do things. Even windows feels more "free." Phone OSes are built like prisons.
Ideally Android would let you drop into a real shell, without having to deal with android sandboxing.
Regardless, I use termux and tasker to get my automations done.

On the topic of xargs replacements, I love gnu parallel.
The --dry-run flag of parallel made me confident to do more batch processing than I ever did with xargs.
Parallel has an option for almost everything, it's almost too much.
But I have shopped around for alternatives. The creator Ole Tange maintains a painstakingly long article of the alternatives and their differences. [0]
The gnu parallel book and reading materials [1] are excellent too.

I wish Kdenlive had an api so that I could improve the QOL for myself.

I rather see the prompt they used to make that article, than the article itself. It overstayed it's welcome to say nothing.

Charm's tui library is fantastic. This combined with ruby's ease of use will make writing cli apps more fun!

> Your performance and review history is stored in an SQLite database in the same directory as the cards.
Do you use Syncthing or something else to sync your performance history between devices?

I like mani. It's a cli that lets you run any command on all of your projects or a tagged subset of them.
$ mani exec --all --output table --parallel 'find . -type f | wc -l'

How are we so blind to these beginner hurdles?
Few people are able to see through the eyes of a beginner, when they are a master.
The 4th one is a pain to teach. Every other file and directory has spaces... so I encourage liberal use of the TAB key for beginners.

It depends on the workplace and the person.
Some workplaces:
- penalize black women for having natural hairstyles like locs
- make Sikhs remove turbans
- deny chosen names and pronouns
There are entire swaths of groups who can't be their authentic selves.
