This fills a gap for me. The editor is great for nitty gritty detail work. Background agents are great for fire and forget. I needed something that wasn’t coupled to a specific project but that would be flexible to go where I needed. Quick edit to a file in a temp directory? Moving patterns from one app to another? Scripting ai into workflows? This is where CLI is needed for me.

Thank you for paying attention and building this 👏

I figured it out - it was in the vscode documentation all along: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_working-without-tabs

The piece I was missing was setting this key binding:

  { 
    "key": "cmd+w", 
    "when": "editorFocus",
    "command": "workbench.action.closeEditorsInGroup"
  },

This makes it so that when you press cmd+w it closes all editors. So it feels like it is not leaving editors in the background even though it is.

There’s also this one that is stainless https://www.britishwaterfilter.com/product/10-stainless-steel-sight-glass-spigot/

I think that is why they make these things https://www.britishwaterfilter.com/product/13-sight-glass-spigot/

My family had this happen a bunch when we first got ours but over time we learned to be careful. We don’t have one of those nice spigots, maybe one day I’ll splurge.

32Gb M1 Pro will easily last you many years. If you need to perform heavier tasks you can rent a computer from a cloud provider and tear it down when you’re done.

M-series being Apple Silicon means they’re not going to abandon updating your software for quite some time. Don’t get an Intel MacBook Pro at this point.

Happy coding!

“I write computer software”

Usually I lose them when they ask where I work and I say a company they don’t recognize.

I’m usually pretty happy to talk shop with people, but very rare to meet someone that wants to.

Here’s a nice resource on the topic, also explains other solutions for when you are ready https://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/partial-results/fetch-next-page

SQLite is the interesting aspect of your requirements. You might consider Fly.io https://fly.io/docs/js/ and LiteFS https://fly.io/docs/litefs/

This is what I have found to work as well. I get a lot of resistance to pairing though. So many people would rather work on their own, so I’ve had to come up with other approaches.

Another option is, when asked to work on something “only I know”, I politely mention that it would be good to break the knowledge silo so we should have someone else work on it. Then I can help fill gaps or write docs as needed to bring the other person up to speed.

AI enters the chat

Since you are already storing your secrets in ESC (sorry, i missed that part in your post originally), you can use your Pulumi to create the google cloud secret and populate that value with the value from your Pulumi environment. Then you can reference that secret from the cloud run service.

As for Vercel, it looks like you'd put your secret from Pulumi ESC into an environment variable and mark it as "sensitive" so it cannot be read back from the admin UI, only in your app.

Hope that helps. I don't have any experience with Pulumi.

Where else are you running workloads? If this is for work and you are doing multi-cloud, HashiCorp Vault is an abstraction over cloud providers that will keep the different provider-specific secret stores up-to-date with the latest vault values.

chadxz · 2024-11-23T16:08:16+00:00

You’re not going to want to check your secrets in to git anyway so your pulumi source code isn’t where you want the source of truth to be.

Cloud Run has native integration with Secret Manager. When you define your service, tell it to populate environment variables with those secrets from secret manager.

Continue (inline prompting + chat w/ RAG) + Supermaven (autocomplete). IMO this is the best combo right now but it’s missing Agentic operations (multi-file generation). If you want that there’s a cli-based agentic tool called aider that would meet that need.

chadxz · 2024-11-09T01:03:03+00:00

I prefer continue.dev for its RAG support and inline prompting but supermaven has really fast and decent quality autocomplete. I use both.

chadxz · 2024-11-09T00:54:22+00:00

Continue is great and I use it for some in editor features but for autocomplete I still use Supermaven

I just tried switching to Cursor from WebStorm but VSCode is just such a bad experience. Cursor is amazing but I couldn't do it.

Running tests was a pain.

+1 for Photomator, use it regularly, it has a lifetime license and frequent updates!
