https://mohundro.com - have almost 15 years up there, not much traffic, but I enjoy sharing things here and there.

I found these online and added them to my gitconfig at one point... I can't take credit for them. Integrating fzf with git makes working with branches even better (with fuzzy matches for checking out as well as deleting branches)...

cob = !BRANCH=`git recent --no-color | fzf` && git checkout ${BRANCH}

db = !BRANCH=`git branch --no-color | fzf` && git branch -d ${BRANCH}

dbf = !BRANCH=`git branch --no-color | fzf` && git branch -D ${BRANCH}

There’s fzf-git.sh [1], which is a collection of bindings to invoke fzf for things like branches, commits, tags, etc. I use it pretty often.

I was working for a team that didn't have any mobile developers so we had outsourced an iOS app to connect with our SOAP based API. A few years later, our mobile app was woefully out of date, so I thought I'd take upon myself to 1) learn Swift and 2) convert the library over. Unfortunately, it was a nightmare to work with SOAP (and XML) in Objective C and Swift, so I played with an abstraction to help with parsing XML. The end result became an early version of SWXMLHash [1].

The irony is that I never finished the rewrite, but the library was helpful to other Swift developers so I've been maintaining it since.

This looks great - I was working with an old iOS app back when Swift was first released and I wrote an XML parsing library SOLELY because the SOAP support was horrific. I think this will help a lot of people. If you don't mind, I might add a link to your repo from my README just to help point people towards a better approach over manual XML parsing.

Thank you! links are fine of-course; the more the merrier.

Agreed regarding the default tab completion. You might check out PSReadLine at some point - see https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine. Its goal is to try to emulate readline except in PowerShell (this includes tab completion as well as emacs shortcut keys... vim shortcut keys are in the works AFAIK). It does require some additional configuration and it isn't installed by default, but I think it helps with this specific scenario quite a bit.

It's on iOS, too. I just installed it! I had to find another app from Google so that I could get to the list of all apps from them to see it first, though.

Reveal.js (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js) also supports writing your slides in Markdown.

I've used it for the last 3 or 4 presentations I've given and it has worked out well. It doesn't come with a huge variety of themes, but it is easy to share - I can just push it out to Github Pages.

Reveal.js is practically the default presentation tool for some groups at my workplace. Works quite well and looks quite good as well. Publishing is easy and works on FF and Chrome.

Related, but for the same reasons, you could also write classic ASP using JavaScript (as opposed to VBScript). Years ago, I spent months trying to convince my team to let me use JavaScript instead of VBScript in our ASP files.

I know. When I need to do some Windows scripting, I'd do it in JScript rather than VBScript. Like when a user wants to merge two Excel files, nothing beats to whip out a simple JScript to do it. Running it is simple. They just double click on the JScript file and done. Business users love it.

Both Scott Hanselman and Rob Conery collaborate on This Developer's Life.

Yep, I had nothing to do with TDL. Wish I could claim it, but I can't. I mean, I guess I could and lie about it, but no. Won't do that. Not yet anyways. :)

You are an accomplished ballroom dancer, though.

He's not that good. Doesn't lead and won't follow. Dead weight most of the time, although pretty good with the dips.

Honest mistake guys, I've listened to almost every episode and had no idea. All the jokes about the Hawaiian shirts and I've been thinking of the wrong person.

I'm a CS grad, but I had zero knowledge of programming when I entered college - I knew some basics about HTML and I could fix some basic computer issues but that is it. I remember trying to open an executable in Notepad and thinking to myself, "uh oh, this is going to be really hard."

I was still struggling with syntax issues into my second year of school. It's not a good feeling to be debugging null pointer issues and data structures when you're not confident with the syntax.
