I’m similar but have three main editors:

Vim for super quick changes (I’d like to increase my proficiency with vim but not really done much to do so).

Vscode for light text editing : coding which doesn’t require me to dig in to debug for a major length of time.

Jetbrains IDE for real work / tinkering were I may need to debug / leverage breakpoints / have good autocomplete.

Where I get confused is storing the tokens securely. There's a lot of conflicting information online. I've come across many examples where they suggest localStorage which is a horrible idea.

A lot of the advice I see now is about http-only cookies but I think I'd probably look more into oAuth in the future.

I think this is a great resource but wish it had not chosen a hybrid architecture. All the guides on decoupled Django seem to choose hybrid. It makes sense because you get the CSRF / XSS safety benefits but I'd love to see how others tackle a fully decoupled Django stack e.g. oAuth, JWTs and how they do their CSRF / XSS security. It's an area I need to learn more about.

I'm similar but I tend to use spotlight for launching. I do sometimes use the dock but all animations are disabled and it's hidden by default.

AI written content should really be banned. I don't want to read content from a bot I want to read content from a human.

Whenever I obtain a 'smart' TV, I never connect it to the internet. I don't want a TV that can phone home.

Looks good.

I recently just created my own custom new tab extension. Closed source because it's literally just for me. It does a few nieche things e.g. syncing a todo list that also appears on a e-ink display. I like it. I also like that it's something that's just for me.

I actual wrote a similar post a while back: https://www.chriswales.uk/blog/my-favourite-macos-terminal-c...

networksetup was one of my favourites as well as du and caffeinate.

The 'security' command is new to me so thanks!

This was my opinion. Saying it's either blue or green when it looks to be a bit of both didn't sit well with me.

Yeah, cannot help but agree. It should have been impossible for this to happen in the first place.

I'm not sure why but it made me feel nauseous. Did not like. I couldn't continue to read either.

It is if you have an account. I browse Reddit anonymously and I wanted to get rid of the subreddit styles — hence why I put this together quickly.

Likely yes but not everyone knows how (thinking the non-tech people here) and plus I think it’s nice just to be able to grab a quick extension and be done with it.

This immediately came to my mind as well.

This will be abused. It’s not an “if” but a “when”.

The thing is though, as you said, it's my personal iPhone. If I want to be able to install an unsigned app I should be able to. There should be ways to dissuade the non-technical people but my feeling is it is my iPhone so I should be able to do as I wish.

I've had this conversation with quite a few people recently. As I say to them, once the genie is out of the bottle it's hard to put it back in again. People will simply go to companies who allow them to be remote or more flexible.

This unironically makes Python seem more cosy to me. It just feels better. My unpopular opinion, anyway.

Like many others, this guy was a *huge* part of my childhood. Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama.

I'm also not clear why this is US only. There's definitely a market in other areas of the world. I'd be interested to know why it should be US only.
