I use it for a very large monorepo to replace prettier. So much faster! Also have it run on save in my editor now.

Now linting full codebase on precommit and it’s faster than just linting staged files with prettier!

+1 -- I use Stout all the time. I don't have to rely on anyone's uptime except AWS's. Stout's just a "shortcut" for using AWS infrastructure that I have full control of.

With Surge, I'd have to trust some startup's build tool not to fail at a vital time.

Counter-argument:

A good micro-module removes complexity. It has one simple purpose, is tested, and you can read the code yourself in less than 30 seconds to know what's happening.

Take left-pad, for example. Super simple function, 1 minute to write, right? Yes.

But check out this PR that fixes an edge case: https://github.com/azer/left-pad/pull/1

The fact of the matter is: every line of code I write myself is a commitment: more to keep in mind, more to test, more to worry about.

If I can read left-pad's code in 30 seconds, know it's more likely to handle edge cases, and not have to write it myself, I'm happy.

The fault in this left-pad drama is not "people using micro-modules". The fault is in npm itself: all of this drama happened only because npm is mutable. We should focus on fixing that.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here. But again, there was no passive aggressiveness in my previous comment. I meant what I said, and nothing more: He's assuming things about someone he doesn't know. That's something to be careful with.

Unfortunately, this is going to happen. Best wishes with your project.

Edit: I'm only trying to be straightforward. I meant only what I said: name collisions do happen, especially in the cluttered npm namespace, and will continue to happen.

And I meant what I said in that I do wish your project the best. No foul intent.

Run `emacs -nw --daemon` to start a background emacs server.

Now, you can do `emacsclient -nw <file>` to boot up with almost no startup time. I have vi aliased to this, and `emacs -nw --daemon` opened by launchctl.

A gotcha: If you change your emacs config and need to restart, be sure to `pkill emacs` to get rid of the daemon.

I used Vim my whole career. But I always hated all the little bugs.

Then I found Spacemacs a couple weeks ago and switched. I had an equivalent environment set up in a few days.

Now I'm moving forward with the ability to do almost anything I want, and all of Vim's warts gone.

Vim really is a shitty editor with an awesome UI on top.

Emacs is a completely configurable, actually good editor. Now with Vim's awesome UI.

My thoughts on this article:

"Yes, new software and new businesses need to grow. But to be sustainable, they need to grow slowly and with loving care. Like good wine. Like a baby."

Why can't I grow quickly "and with loving care"? :-)

Disagree. Twitter is immensely valuable for me to quickly communicate with people in my "community" (the Javascript tech world), as well as keep up on news in areas I'm interested in: the Javascript tech world & a few others.

You don't buy something like this only for functionality. There is more to the value of a bag than that.

What do you want to say to others with your attire, specifically your bag?

The bag in the original post is sending this message: "I'm competent, trustworthy, and I care about myself." Why? It's slim, made of good-quality materials, and has no more than it needs to have. It fits like a fitted pair of pants. When you look good, you are perceived as "good".

I looked at the Jansport Geminate bag, and it gave me this message: "I'm behind the times, and I don't really care that much about myself." Why? Those front pockets make it look like a baggy pair of pants two sizes too large. It looks fat and bulky, and if I wore it I would look like I just "threw something on" this morning.

How much change will you see in the opportunities you get just depending on the bag you wear? How much better will you feel with a good-looking bag? And is $219 worth those changes?
