More info at bphogan.com (https://bphogan.com/). SummaryDevelopers use a variety of tools other than their programming language to get their jobs done. This week, we talk about those tools with Brian Hogan, an Editorial Manager for DigitalOcean. Brian's a prolific technical educator, writer, and editor and he's currently the author of the book Small, Sharp, Software Tools (https://pragprog.com/book/bhcldev/small-sharp-software-tools) from the Pragmatic Press. We talk about why command line tools in particular are important, what command line tools do well, and why some people including myself often find them opaque and confusing. We talk about our favorite tools and about customizing your workflow to fit your needs.Notes02:33 - Benefits to being comfortable on the Command Line Interface (CLI)Small, Sharp, Software Tools (https://pragprog.com/book/bhcldev/small-sharp-software-tools)Brad Urani, The Ruby Developer's Command Line Toolkit (http://confreaks.tv/videos/rubyconf2018-the-ruby-developer-s-command-line-toolkit)Noel Rappin, The Developers Toolkit (http://confreaks.tv/videos/rubyconf2018-the-developer-s-toolkit-everything-we-use-but-ruby)Developer's Toolkit Cheat Sheet (https://medium.com/@noelrap/developers-toolkit-cheat-sheet-82d98d34fde7)Create React App (https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app)A command that shows commonly used commands (https://twitter.com/samphippen/status/1017738991012114433) 09:43 - Concepts that people struggle with and don’t internalize11:13 - ‘awk’ and ‘sed’ defined- awk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK)- sed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed)- Elixir (https://elixir-lang.org)- F# (https://fsharp.org)14:48 - The Ethos of Cargo Culting Information- Z Shell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell)- Oh My Zsh (https://ohmyz.sh)- Makefile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makefile)- Deckset (https://www.deckset.com/) - Noel's Deckset Editor (https://github.com/noelrappin/deckset_editor)20:02 - Reminding Yourself to Use Tools and Shortcuts - Z Shell History Substring Search (https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/tree/master/plugins/history-substring-search) - TextMate (https://macromates.com)27:31 - Benefit to Setup/Cost Ratio- Bash prompt generator (http://ezprompt.net)- RB command line (https://github.com/thisredone/rb)30:28 - Differences in Tools on Different Machines and Operating Systems32:52 - Tools You Should Know Better- Rubular (http://rubular.com/)- regex101 (https://regex101.com/)- regex-railroad-diagram (https://atom.io/packages/regex-railroad-diagram) - entr (http://eradman.com/entrproject/)37:29 - Practice as Continuous Improvement- Exercises for Programmers (https://pragprog.com/book/bhwb/exercises-for-programmers) Special Guest: Brian Hogan.
