With all these UF2 first boards the first thing I do is solder on the SWD header and figure out what magic sequence of memory read/writes I need to make over jlink to unlock the flash and remove the damn bootloader.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually uses a debugger anymore :(

Over a year ago http://grep.app showed up which does basically all I want from GitHub search and Nat (GitHub CEO) said lets talk, but nothing public happend. Biggest thing I use it for is looking for examples of how to use some API, so exact search of the function name and filter by language. The regex is also super nice to have when I need it.

The contacts bit is a disaster right now, there is a whole support page devoted to it and it still does not tell the whole story. https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007319011-Ma...

I had a contact show up with a super old name that I wanted to update but it was right in all my other apps. Turns out I still had the old name in one of the read only merged contacts from WhatsApp (contact showed up fine in WhatsApp). I had to remove my WhatsApp account clear the app data for signal and resync everything.

You can already do a lot with https://renode.io I have run a full simulation with a verilator (slooow) of a small RISC-V before I had hardware in hand.
