This week, I learned:

  • Prashant Pandey: we need to prepare before every meeting. Something to teach
  • VS Code
    • Select any code and command Explain this to understand the code
    • %something in command bar searches ACROSS files for a term. Exactly like Ctrl+Shift+F
    • Copilot has an Inline Chat: Start in Terminal (that needed me to unbind Ctrl+I in bash to work)
    • Ctrl+2 opens a second window on the side. Ctrl+1 goes back to the first window
    • Terminal: Open Detected Link lets you scroll through detected (file) links in terminal
    • Terminal sticky scroll is transparent. (But Terminal stick scroll isn’t working for me.)
    • Copilot uses last 10 commit messages, Jupyter notebook kernel state (variables) as additional context
    • 1.88: supports locked scrolling to sync scrolling of side-by-side windows
  • fsspec is used by csvbase, Pandas, etc. to implement file system protocols like s3fs, gcfs, etc.
  • SQLime is a SQLite client / playground on the browser!
  • Do nothing. Then do less
    • Humans have a bias against inaction. Hence a strategic advantage. What can you cancel today?
    • Humans have a bias against subtraction or removal. That too is a strategic advantage. What can you remove today?
    • Humans have a bias against constraints. That’s a strategic advantage. What constraint can you embrace?
    • No Yay! When declining something, add it your calendar so that when the time comes you can say yeah I got this time back
