I built a tool to exactly help an LLM navigate and search a knowledgebase of md files. It helps a lot to build such a wiki by providing basic content search à la grep but also structured search for frontmatter properties. It also helps to move files around without breaking links and to fix links automatically. It is a CLI tool, mainly meant to be driven by AI tools.

Yes, it completely sucks you in and you do "just one more prompt" until late in the night. And somehow you wake up with headache the next morning...
[...] “just one more prompt” [...]. That creates a strong urge to try using it for everything all the time. And just like with slot machines, the [house](https://www.anthropic.com) always wins.
I really liked that part - the house always wins.

I never thought, I'd read again about ZMODEM and Kermit. To learn programming and dive more into C/C++, I implemented both protocols while writing a Windows application to transfer files from the PC to a HP48 graphics calculator over the serial port in ca. 1999. This app then became the "official" PC link program "HPComm", released under the GPL. Almost 25 years go... :-o
One convenient usecase for me is to generate model classes from a sample JSON document: "please create me a java class using lombok from this JSON: {...}"
Also vice versa: "create a JSON document with sample data from this java model class: "public class Person {String name; ...}"
1) We support working remotely "as an exceptional option", but not on a regular basis
2) That depends heavily on your age and your experience and lies somewhere between CHF 90k-125k

I often use the RESTED firefox extension, which covers like 90% of my adhoc http request needs: https://github.com/RESTEDClient/RESTED It's pretty slim with no bells and whistles.
Without a plugin on firefox: hit ' to open a search field that only searches for links, then start typing and hit enter when the correct link is highlighted.
I recently discovered some nice helpers to resize windows:
- Hold down the option key while resizing a windows (with the mouse) to also resize the opposite side. This also works when resizing the window on a corner to resize all edges at once.
- Double click a window border to enlarge this side of the window up to the edge of the scereen. Hold down the option key to enlarge also the opposite site.
- Double-click the title bar of a window to maximize it
