    Have you looked into devcontainers? Could be a good option.

    We use tilt right now for running the apps themselves. Haven’t delved into virtualized dev environments yet. We’re a Mac shop so we just have a list of brew commands to run. And for some critical tools they are invoked through docker so no cli install needed.

    We have a file that houses the version and everything is done through a Makefile. So on the next main pull people will always invoke the correct version of a build tool.



  • A few shortcuts that I use a lot are really basic, but very powerful. Frankly, I’m always surprised when I’m pairing with a co-worker and they don’t know about them.

    Cmd+p to open the fuzzy file finder search. This is a huge one and I’m shocked when I see people hunting through the file explorer to find the file they are looking for.

    Cmd+shift+f to open the fuzzy workspace text search. Basically grep your workspace for code.

    F1 or Cmd+p+> - Action menu. So many good actions in here from running formatters, to toggling light/dark mode, reload window, etc.

    Ctrl+r (mac) - Fuzzy search for recently opened projects/files. Hitting Enter opens it in same window or Cmd+Enter opens in new window. I use this sooo much and most people don’t know about it.

    Cmd+n to open a new vscode window. Although I rarely use this as I almost always just use Ctrl+r.

    VSCode has great fuzzy search and if you use it, it lets you move around your code and codebases so much faster.

    Installing CLI tools so when in the terminal, you can run code <path> to open vscode at that working directory.

    Can’t remember the last time I used File->Open to open a new project window.

    Cmd+b to open/close the left drawer

    Cmd+shift+e to open the file explorer.

    Came here to say exactly this.

    I was going through these motions a few months back and bearblog was a top choice of mine. However, after doing a little more research, I found Hugo and a hugo-bearblog template. Combined with Github hosting I’m able to get the power of bearblog, but a lot more control over it. I’m free to take the entire thing anywhere I want, and it’s all under my own domain.

    Separately, I had originally tried Jekyll, but I found the install process to be cumbersome. I pegged it as being a ruby-based install. I loved being able to just brew install hugo and having it just work from the get-go.

    Yea there is some really interesting stuff in this release! Love the addition of generics in the packages. I feel like future Go releases will have a lot more of these nice generic utils in them to help clean up userland code.

    Curious to know if slog will finally allow the community to settle on a standard logger. I’ve been using logr.Logr interface for a long time now with zap as the backend. Will be nice to at least replace zap with the slog as the underlying logging mechanism to remove at least one dependency.
