My favorite lesser-known tech tool: ack! #code search: https://beyondgrep.com/
-Goes through big directories in blazing fast time without indexing.
-Color coding for results.
-Runs on any OS with #Perl and no admin rights required
-Nice quality of life improvements (you didn’t want to search all the backups or .git/.svn directories, right?)
-I will never forget “Mars Attacks!”

what I call “the perl grep" is one of the most useful tools I can think of, albeit a bit cumbersome to type:

$ echo "give me 12345 numbers" | perl -nl -e '/(\d+)/ && print "$1"'
12345

#perl #cli #grep

The hold music on the Canada Revenue Agency phone service is horrendous.

The agents I've been dealing with today are top notch, though.

Heading into hour 2 getting a thing untangled 😬

TIL the command line tool ack has a some easter egg options. They're listed in the man page if you want to see them all. My favorite is ack --bar.
