Hot-desking killed this practice. I now get desk anxiety on my in-office days

I am young enough that my entire career has been markdown files, screenshots, and photos on my phone. I (a)sync everywhere by pushing git lfs commits to my home server.

Seems like overkill until it saves my ass. It continues to do so almost half a decade into all the LLM hype. It hits the sweet spot between simplicity, convenience, reliability, and precision.

People strongly underestimate how good the git life can be, especially with all the blogspam on here trying to dethrone it lately.

    Don't let IT hear that unless you work on FOSS.

Have an AI agent compile the cheat sheets into a searchable website hosted on Github for your own personal reference.

  • The printed copy lets you build a spatial association with the command. You are more likely to be able to look up and have your eyes settle roughly where it is than write a query on a custom site.

    I think for a digital solution to come close you need it permanently present on a nth monitor

  • and hook up a Bluetooth sensor so when you walk into the office it prints them off in individual sticky notes and assigns one of the humanoid robots to collect them and stick them on the monitor or cubicle walls of your chosen work desk.

    what a time to be alive.
