**2026**

- [Slack is your remote team's social media. Treat it like it.](/slack-is-your-remote-teams-social-media) (Apr 2026 · Original · Opinion): I've worked remotely for nine years, four and a half at Deepgram. Slack is your remote team's social media, and you should treat it that way.
- [TIL: Testing Network Latency With ping Custom Payload Sizes](/til-ping-latency-testing) (Mar 2026 · Original · TIL): ping -s sends packets larger than the default 56 bytes. Test how your connection handles audio-sized payloads before blaming the API.
- [TIL: Running TypeScript Directly With tsx](/til-tsx-typescript-node) (Feb 2026 · Original · TIL): tsx executes TypeScript files with zero config using esbuild under the hood. Faster than ts-node and handles ESM and CJS automatically.
- [TIL: Chaining Shell Commands With && vs ; vs ||](/til-shell-chaining-operators) (Jan 2026 · Original · TIL): Chaining shell commands with && runs the next only on success, ; runs it regardless, and || runs it only on failure. Pick wrong and CI hides a broken build.

**2025**

- [TIL: Finding Processes on a Port With lsof -i](/til-lsof-listening-ports) (Dec 2025 · Original · TIL): lsof -i :PORT shows which process is holding a port. End the 'what is already running on 3000' guessing game for good.
- [TIL: Reading Gzip Files Without Decompressing With zcat](/til-zcat-gzip-streaming) (Nov 2025 · Original · TIL): zcat streams a gzip file straight to stdout without writing a temp copy. Read compressed logs, CSVs, or JSON directly into your pipeline.
- [TIL: Comparing Directory Trees With diff -r](/til-diff-r-directory-comparison) (Oct 2025 · Original · TIL): diff -r compares two directories recursively, showing every file that differs. Verify that a build output matches between two branches.
- [TIL: Generating Trusted Local HTTPS Certs With mkcert](/til-mkcert-local-https) (Sep 2025 · Original · TIL): mkcert creates locally-trusted TLS certificates in one command. Your browser trusts them instantly — no more self-signed cert warnings.
- [TIL: Running TypeScript Directly With ts-node](/til-ts-node-watch-mode) (Aug 2025 · Original · TIL): ts-node compiles and executes TypeScript in memory, so quick scripts and SDK examples run with no build step and no tsc --watch loop to babysit.
- [TIL: Finding Disk Usage Per Directory With du -sh](/til-du-disk-usage) (Jul 2025 · Original · TIL): du -sh reports disk usage per directory in human-readable form, so you can find what is filling a drive without clicking through a GUI.
