Trying out Ghostty and liking it so far. Only thing I'm really missing for my workflow is a bring-to-front hotkey. I like to bind cmd-` in iTerm to jump to the terminal from anywhere so I can always get to it quickly.

It was raining in the data center by @everest.bsky.social. There are a handful of talks from eyeo that really stuck with me and this was one of them.

Also super useful if you’re the type to use screenshots as a sort of informal work journal/archive. Keeping them in a dedicated place makes it easy to go back in time and see progress or find past references, prototypes, etc.
