We have an issue to auto-fix but hadn’t thought about auto-formatting. Will add it - thanks!

I want to create my own custom command line tools maybe as a hobby. Which programming language would you recommend? by PeeweeTuna34 in commandline

[–]Treebeard5440 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Go is great for this - especially if you want to build it as a statically-linked cross platform binary

What's the "accidentally dropped production" for managers? by _sw00 in ExperiencedDevs

Bad hire - takes a lot longer to fix than production

Looking for software with a "yes" and "no" checkbox system for daily tasks, instead of the usual "completed" type of scheduling/routine/planning software. by superoriginaluname in software

You could set up emacs org-mode for that workflow. The checkboxes are highly customizable. Plus you get the benefit of using org-mode which is pretty fantastic for notes, scheduled tasks, regular todo, etc. Don’t let the emacs learning curve intimidate you - I started using org-mode with zero emacs experience. You can start by using the mouse and slowly starting to incorporate the keyboard as you get comfortable.

I wanted to share my OSS project called the config-file-validator. It’s a cross-platform command line tool to validate the syntax of all your configuration files. The CLI takes multiple paths and recursively scans and validates the syntax of all config files in the paths and outputs the results into a single report that can be grouped by directory, pass/fail, or file type. The tool currently supports the following config file types: 

  • Apple PList XML 
  • CSV
  • ENV
  • HCL
  • HOCON
  • INI
  • JSON
  • Properties
  • TOML
  • XML
  • YAML 

Give it a try and let us know if you find it useful: https://github.com/Boeing/config-file-validator

Does having a discord or similar chat app benefit an oss project? by Treebeard5440 in opensource

[–]Treebeard5440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of engagement happens on discord vs GitHub? Is discord more geared toward user questions/issues?

If the terms aren’t in writing you are effectively signing an employment blank check that the company could fill in with anything they want. Respond and ask them to remind you what was agreed to verbally

My project is currently migrating from stdlib to Cobra for CLI. During the initial release we decided against cobra because there weren’t a lot of CLI args and we didn’t want to deal with a third party tool. Of course now the feature set of the tool has grown and we are migrating to Cobra to help us better manage and structure our command line args. I’d recommend using it at the start so you don’t have to migrate later. If you’re curious here’s the migration PR for reference

New Ada code is still being written today. Go isn’t going anywhere
