node -p -e "require('./package.json').version"
The -p argument prints the result and the -e argument expects executable JS to follow it.
Lodash in Shell
When both Node and Lodash are installed, they can be executed in shell scripts:
CHEESE="Camembert of Goat"
CAMEL_CHEESE=$(node -p -e "require('lodash').camelCase('${CHEESE}')")
KEBAB_CHEESE=$(node -p -e "require('lodash').kebabCase('${CHEESE}')")
echo $CAMEL_CHEESE # camembertOfGoat
echo $KEBAB_CHEESE # camembert-of-goat

Git Jerk
During a typical day, I would change to the main branch, pull the latest from the remote, delete the merged branches. Over and over all day, every day of the work. Now instead of all that checkout and pulling, I made a Git JERK!
Continue reading “Git Jerk”Git -Xours -Xtheirs arguments
Git provides a helpful argument to prefer one branch or the other to “clobber” merge conflicts:
git merge main -Xours
git merge main -XtheirsI always get confused what the “X” means. I always assume “X” means mark which branch to clobber. Like “X” out their branch. Or “X” out our branch. Please wipe this mnemonic from your brain!
“X” means “PREFER”
“PREFER” the changes in their branch (-Xtheirs) or “PREFER” the changes in our branch (-Xours).
Jeez!

Humans don’t know what they care about
If you hand over the management of your civilization to machines, you then lose the incentive to understand it yourself or to teach the next generation. […] Up until now, we put a lot of our civilization into books. But the books can’t run it for us. So we always have to teach the next generation. If you work it out, it’s about a trillion person years of teaching and learning in an unbroken chain that goes back tens of thousands of generations. What happens if that chain breaks?

Extend URLSearchParams to object
There must be a reason this is a bad idea or it would be included in the API, right? 😅
URLSearchParams.prototype.toObject = function() {
return […this.keys()]
.reduce((o,k) => ({ …o, [k]: this.get(k) }), {});
}
