2.5 Admins 180: Email 777 – 2.5 Admins 2.5admins.com [1] How do you pronounce URL, is it U.R.L or Earle? I’m about 50/50, mostly when I am in a hurry I use Earle as it is one syllable and easy to say. I picked this up from MPJ of fun fun function, who took over Dev Tips. In this episide Jim uses Earle and they make fun of him. If it’s good enough for Jim, I am done with my 50/50 and I’m going all in on Earle. Episode also included a fastinating corrdinated attack that used Ars Technica profile photos communicate directions for the next attack via query parameters in the image url.

- This really makes me want to try Dolphin Mixtral with ollama now. It looks very impressive from this video. The ability to keep adding features before becoming confused is though with a lot of these llms. Being chat based, this is not a co pilot replacement. I was really hoping for an in line co pilot like tool that I can run locally. I have not used co pilot yet, but I have had great luck with codeium. Note This post is a thought [1].

- Great take on low code. I have definitely felt the pressure of being presented low code options, “look it does almost everything you need, and you can do it without code.” Granted there are tons of great low code environments that serve their markets well (things like zapier). As pointed out here when they fall short rather than being hard, it goes to nearly impossible. As Theo points out here many applications follow an 80/20 rule. 80% of the app is really easy to put together, and takes about 20% of the time, probably less. What no code does is it takes that 80% that is already easy, makes it even easier ( pitches it as faster whether or not that is true ), and makes the last 20% of the project impossibly hard to create and maintain, so you just should have picked a tool that had the capability of doing the whole thing from the start anyways.

- I’ve heard prime say just give it the one eyed fighting kirby so many times, and execute it few times, and there is no way to find it online, so this will be the link that I will come to, when I need to remember what @theprimeagen means when he says Give it the one eyed fighting kirby. :s/\(.*\);/console.log(\1) So what is this? # [1] This is a vim substitute comand to replace text in the buffer. the one eyed fighting kirby is a regex capture group to capture everything between matches, and assign it a value to place back in after the match. substitute in a nutshell, :s/<what you want to replace>/<what you want to replace with> More examples # [2] Here is a contrived example of text. here there from here go there here = some_fuction(there) Now for some reason I want to switch all of the words here and there. I can do that with three capture groups, \1 is here, \2 is everything between, \3 is there. :%s/\(here\)\(.*\)\(there\)/\3\2\1 Just give it the one eyed fighting kirby ~Prime still struggling # [3] I thought this explaination from phind was good and more verbose than mine. --- describe this vim substitute regex :%s/(here)(.)(there)/\3\2\1 ANSWER | PHIND V9 M...
