Also Windows Terminal and the Cascadia Code font were a dream to use. I replaced Inconsolata with Cascadia Code on my Mac iTerm2 #terminal #font #windows #win

#vscode and LLDB in VSCode were SO amazing to use. Within a couple of iterations, I was able to track down the use-after-free: github.com/artichoke/artichoke/pull/674 #fail #win #artichoke

Some bespoke filters I hand rolled before got pushed into dependencies, like hashtag parsing and linking moving to linkifyjs #win #yolo

It mostly works and is reasonably speedy, although while iterating, a template error in the lifesteam post rendering code caused ~1000 templates to fail compilation. I let the build peg the CPU for 20 minutes before giving up #fail
