Just finished this morning a project at work that took me roughly a year to complete!
Also started a new project to build your own portable Wifi / ethernet access point with DNS blocker and e-ink screen to control it. Pretty proud, will share the project very soon over here

Why GitHub Link?

In Short

We usually create link-to-code to point our readers, users or developers to the exact code. But such links are created based on line-number and if you're updating the file regularly, those links will not point to correct line or you will need to keep updating your links. GitHub Link helps you to get the right link-to-code, based on text you give, so that it always points to contextually right definition. Jump to usage

In Long

We generally create permanent link to code snippet. As they are for specific commit, they work great when referred in issues/PRs.

But what if you want to give such links in your README or such files? Like you have already defined a coded file with proper comments and you want to give link to…

It has been one month since I've released my book Building Your Mouseless Development Environment which explains how to install Arch Linux, i3, Zsh, Neovim, and tmux.

... and I've reached 300 buyers today! Even crazier: nobody asked for a refund, and all feedback were super positive. This is a huge, massive, crazy win for me 🥰

This was my first official week as a manager in my new position and though it was extremely busy I completed most of my goals and even got in some professional development! I managed to write a blog post about Statamic in my free time one evening as well!
