How to do X using the command line, Vim and VS Code

Inbox

List out my most common workflows + how I complete them and see how many blog posts they would make.

It could be similar to what Go Make Things does with frequent short posts about individual JS features + ways-to-do-X-in-JS.

  • Publish as…
    • ✅ Three separate articles (one per workflow and tool)?
      • Pros:
        • More posts! Three for the price of one
        • Shorter posts are nice (a la Go Make Things)
        • Can link to the other related ones
        • More space to expand the length with screenshots
        • Could translate well to short video versions
      • Cons:

  • ❌ One article per workflow (with multiple tool options)?
    • Pros:
      • Makes the post useful to everyone
      • Lets me comment on which tool makes the workflow easiest
    • Cons:
      • These three tools are far from all the options
      • Some people might get stuck on “what about X?”
      • 2/3 of the article could be annoying/irrelevant to people who prefer only one of the tools
  • For each tool…
    • What config/settings are required?
    • What plugins/extensions are required/handy?
    • What shortcuts/maps/aliases are handy to add?
    • What keystrokes execute the workflow most quickly?
