What do you mean? Technically, the act of posting? Finding the things to post? Finding relevancy? Finding the time to do so?
All of it honestly. I think it is impressive that they manage to post so many different things.
fd seems to be nice and I hate the syntax of find. However I only ever use it for one thing - searching a file recursively, often with a wildcard for files with a certain extension, that's it. I guess I could do that with an alias or a small script as well..
fd is a lot faster than find. This might not matter if you're searching through small directories but if you're working in a very large project it does make things a lot nicer.
How does it compare to fzf?
Also, fd already means "file descriptor".
fd is a massive upgrade to find - I appreciate the better UI and skipping hidden files is usually a big time saver (although I do find myself needing -H or specifying the directory a fair amount).
yeah, I keep forgetting to do -H every f-ing time and have to run the comand a second time, tracking the cursor through the line..
