The Rules of Contagion by Adam Kucharski
by
While my intention wasn’t to purchase a book about pandemics and how they spread during a pandemic, that’s how 2020 happened.

git switch = mind blown
by
As I’m sure many developers do, I was just looking up how to pull a remote branch local because it’s always a few commands with some flags. But not anymore. Git added the `switch` command which does it all in one shot. If you have a remote branch called `feature/cool-stuff` and want to pull it…

I know I can run apps full-screen on my Mac—though a 27-inch iMac is spectacularly bad at that. I know I can hide and quit apps on my Mac with a few keystrokes. And,…
Craft Notes and Data Portability
by
One of the questions I’ve been asked many times as I’ve switched from [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) to [Craft](https://craft.do) is what is the data portability scenario in Craft?
