Featured Photo by energepic.com I’ve had a love-hate relationship with Bootstrap for a long time. While I love how fast it lets me get going, I absolutely hate the cookie cutter vibe of most of the stuff that I end up making with it. Bootswatch is awesome, and I know that I could customize my theme with SASS variables, but that adds a build step, which is additional complexity that I want to avoid when I am making business/CRUD applications.

      I use all these tools so little that I have to relearn them every single time, making them much less useful to me than they would be otherwise.

        yq is a wrapper around jq iirc and has the same syntax, but it do yaml.

        Small disclaimer that i think there may be 2 tools known as yq and this is only true of one of them.

          I meant tools like jq. I hardly ever use it as it’s hard to use and as a result I forget it making it even harder to use. The same applies to awk, sed, etc. Any tool with a bunch of command line flags and hard to understand arguments and syntax will always be low on my “want to use” list. Ripgrep is a prime example of how to build a command line app that is easy to use every time without trying to remember a billion things.

    One of our data providers gives us hundred megabyte json files. Whenever there is a problem with the data they request examples, jq is invaluable in those instances.
