I was boggling at how this could be tolerably efficient for someone, but I think I see it. My development workflow is terminal-centric, so copying out of the terminal to paste into a browser is extremely painful, whereas running 'diff', 'json_verify', etc. on local files or typing snippets into python/node/etc. from the shell is almost free. I suppose though if I were spending my day in VS Code or any kind of GUI IDE or similar, and if my workflow isn't optimized to pop open a unix shell with a keystroke for quick throwaway commands, it would be a lot easier just to C-a C-c alt-tab C-v from my GUI editor into a browser.
- bradstewart 6y agoPretty much. I use a mix of terminal and VS Code for development. Quite often I either don't have tools like json_verify, a hex/rgb code converter, jwt pretty printer, etc installed; or I can't remember what/how they're called. At which point its usually easier to slap it in a web search.
