Sup. I'm Carl. I like reading code and docs.

I'm currently a cybersecurity engineer in training at University of Florida

• My favorite javascript/typescript engine is Deno.
• My favorite editor is VSCodium
• My favorite package manager for Windows is scoop, but winget is nice.
• Favorite commandline cheatsheet utility is: curl https://cht.sh/<search_term>

• I enjoy using Powershell; I find it intuitive and the module system is nice.
  • Another shell worth looking into is nushell. It implements some of the same concepts Powershell does but in a different way, and it's written in Rust.
• Favorite markup language is Github-flavored markdown.
• Favorite markdown-to-html tool is pandoc.
• Favorite terminal git ui apps are lazygit and tig.
• Favorite serialization file format is Yaml
• I like MSYS2 over Cygwin
• I like WSL2 over MSYS2, but it's memory-expensive.
• Favorite Linux package manager is pacman, which in turn makes ArchLinux my favorite distro.
• Favorite online IDE/Repl site is Replit. They have apps for both desktop and mobile and they're awesome and ergonomicly designed with AI-suggestions built in, etc.!

Arch Linux is actually installable as a WSL Linux distro. See here.

They actually added Arch Linux to the Microsoft store.

• Experimenting with deno, the new jsr.io and other typescript runtimes.
• Hardening my privacy setup.

• Newer, although flashier, is not always better.
• Redundancy is rampant in the package manager world. Sometimes it's best to just pick one tool or module and run with it rather than spending time weighing the pros and cons between multiple pieces of software.
  • Example: have you counted how many grep apps there are available? Just use ripgrep and be done with it.

Thanks for reading! Hope we can collaborate on something in the near future!
