  It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing... Source: 10 months ago

• Show HN: A modified macOS ls that supports –group-directories-first

  I finally got tired of not having directories first on macOS, and - for me - something like exa was overkill. So I dug into the source code, hunted down the missing BSD-licensed headers, figured out how to work around the APSL headers, and smoothed out the rough edges. Very much a personal itch-scratching exercise and only a couple hours worth of work, but maybe it'll be useful... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
