So I'm trying to remedy my carpal tunnel by considering making the decision to give up my mouse completely, and use only the keyboard. I look throu...

I really love using cfonts to spice up my shell scripting :)
Definitely got to keep that one in mind :-) . Also, I guess it tells a lot about your mindset if you write down the whole alphabet and 0 to 9 as a list instead of going [A-Z], [0-9] :-D
Aha that's great!
I use figlet to tell me what machine I've shelled into. Non-useless, because I'm an idiot and will get it wrong otherwise!
Also, piping it through lolcat makes it all pretty.
I'm quite fond of Vanilla JS
This is one of my favorites. I've made it a point to show it to the people I teach JavaScript to. :)
I LOL'd - literally...
I like
tholman.com/elevator.js/
I laughed way too hard at this!
Oh. Maigod.
I am using this in my next project.
Ahh, thats hot
That one is awesome! Trying to sneak that into the next project :D
classy!!
The BlessYourCodeTag is definitely up there on my list.
Also, activate-power-mode. (Thanks @ben )
Hell yes, I'm very glad activate-power-mode exists.
Now with a COMBO MODE!!!
The world needs more of this
We should eventually add the ability to render things easily on the window bitmap to Emacs someday...
I've seen that being used in a Code in the Dark challenge. It was hilarious as hell!
I used this package when taking lecture notes all last semester, it helped to keep things interesting in non-CS courses.
I used it some time with my hyper.js terminal...
When I saw your comment, my first imagination was how you sit in front of your keyboard, smashing the keys, almost turning into a super saiyajin :D
Yup, came to post activate-power-mode :)
Is there an extension for VSCode as well? 😊
@cloudpower97 indeed :D marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
Nice, thank you!
Going to have some fun with this extension 😂
Update: I took it down when I moved my website. Sorry! It was useless anyway.
Well I did this: rekt.daniguardiola.me/
Not proud
oh god my ears
I made the mistake of clicking this in the office with my sound on
Not proud
Is it wrong that I recognized

Oh damnnnn
🤣🤣🤣
It's good to some fun with what you love i guess
A Latex package to add coffee stains.

Emacs "Zone"-Mode (It comes with Emacs)
We've got GitHub flavored markdown, so it's like so:
We'll definitely add it in the markdown cheatsheet though, not the first time someone's wondered. 🙃
This one is funny and potentially useful once every blue moon: foaas.com/
My favorite has to be /dev/null as a Service.
Thanks for the tip - maybe I can be their next "Map-Enlarge Engineer"...
And also Rythm.js: a javascript library that makes your page dance!!
Check out the cool demo page
This is pretty cool
Hard to go past System.Ben for me. Best .NET library in the world...
Fast and secure - by default!
I really like doge
TrumpScript - Making Python Great Again (github.com/samshadwell/TrumpScript)
It's a programming language inspired by Trump, and as a result is entertaining to read about but impossible to make use of for anything serious (as the docs say). Here's some of the features:
Got a couple of (almost) useless repos :
and for French speakers:
Hacker Typer!
I created an automated religious API so you can pray the API god with an API call. Basically, automating religion. Jagon API
I usually pray whenever I start a build in my CI. Completely useless.
This one is a-mazing: projects.haykranen.nl/java/
RoR has "forty_two" method.
apidock.com/rails/Array/forty_two
api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Active...
In an effort to catch Ruby up to the crazy number of Node.js modules, I wrote and released is_even during a lightning talk. You can see the video here: youtu.be/UT0Rl_EJNN4?t=795
Whenever I set up a test runner I have to use the nyan reporter youtu.be/UfNeezklIUc
This is pretty much the most useless thing I've ever seen
hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SP...
Even says it's useless in the class
i'm a fan of github.com/kragniz/anyprint
I really like sl, it displays a steam locomotive when you type sl instead of ls. Not cancelable of course!
Not useful by itself, but definitely one of my favourite non-things is example.com.
Together with example.net and example.org it's reserved as per rfc2606.
I don't know if this qualifies as useless as there's use for it.…
Since I spend a lot of time on Twitter discussing politics, chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/... (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/a...) is a must in these dark times.
I also have been naming my hosts with nsaname (npmjs.com/package/nsaname)
Disclaimer: I built them.
I like Acidfy: github.com/igore34/acidify
I really like this one when I'm on a terminal: Pokemonsay
This needs more love ❤️
I'm super distracted by the header image setting a class variable on instance initialization and the type error in
lonely_method.It's served it's purpose then. 😉
I'm not that big on linters, but the gray lines really irked me when I wrote that up.
I'm very fond of the useless tools I make. Unpepefy - github.com/rbanffy/unpepefy (and its back-end, Naziscore - github.com/rbanffy/naziscore) is one such thing.
Another useless tool (I prefer the term "inutility") is github.com/rbanffy/selectric-mode. It makes your Emacs sound important. Some people add it as a minor mode for Markdown so they feel better about writing documentation.
Another one is github.com/rbanffy/nsaname, a tool I made so I could properly assign codenames to projects or just make server names sound cooler. Who doesn't like to ssh to deity-maker so that they can work on KrakenGibson HX.
I do not have a favorite but I am amazed by the small NPM packages that can be replaced by JS6+ or Lodash.
My favorite tool is: Github Sectory.
github.com/nvbn/thefuck
That's actually quite useful.
Favorite useless repo: »No Code - The best way to write secure and reliable applications« github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode
Favorite useless package: Good old »cowsay« packages.ubuntu.com/de/trusty/cowsay / packagist.org/packages/alrik11es/c...
Favorite useless website: »/dev/null as a Service« devnull-as-a-service.com/code/
Linux.
Least it's honest!
99 replies and not a single link to Zombocom? I am so disappointed… Guess I'll be the first. :)
(technically not a "programming" thing but it is inspirational… and definitely useless)
Awww man, I was secretly hoping that by pressing the [bless | ramen] button, an option to bless the creator with a pack of ramen would show up. Hope your wrists are feeling better Andy!
That would be amazing!
Also, thanks about the wrists :) They're getting there!
My favourite useless time waster is webpack. I can spend days, weeks in front of it, just to realize probably I will get a less sized project if I completely abandone it.
vanilla-css.com
Link 404'd :( You're probably missing
http://before the link.Still in the progress of understanding FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition.
Bahaha I like the issues and PRs, like "Dockerize the app," "make code coverage bigger," and "split the monolith."
Thank God!!!
Nobody is asking me to show my ridiculously messed up git repository.. 😊😊
nocode
hackertyper is fun for showing off to your friends ;)
github.com/Rabrennie/anything.js/
I did not write this but i do really enjoy this php library table-flip made by @SaraMG
github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode and github.com/jezen/is-thirteen are both forever in my heart. ❤️
The two that come to mind:
foaas.com/
baconipsum.com/
baconipsum is good, but I personally prefer slipsum.com.
I never knew this existed. Thank you. This is perfect.
I was bored working on a mockup and realized that there isnt a picard ipsum generator. Something fun for this weekend I think.
That Readme for BlessYourCodeTag is everything I wanted it to be. Hyper terminal has several fun plugins too!
I like this one personally : packagist.org/packages/kk/chuck-co...
Have to give a shout-out to Swearjure: Valid Clojure without any alphanumeric characters!
Language of the future right there!
github.com/haskellcamargo/php-code...
Has to be fukol-grids
I'm surprised this one hasn't been posted yet!
I made this: wordpress.org/plugins/wp-doge-mode/
github.com/transitive-bullshit/com... 😄
Just stumbled upon this and knew it belonged on the list, Cage Icons
Hahaha I started using VS Code not too long ago. I might need to use this.
I like Dogescript enough to mirror their website after it went down. dogescript.science
How about this one? :D
github.com/vishalnarkhede/not-hotdog
cmatrix and sl are some of my favourites to sit and watch for hours
My all-time favorite
Cornify of course!! ✨🦄✨🦄✨
In France, we have this one : perdu.com
I love it
geektyper.com/ To impress project managers - muahaha.
The only one brave enough to tell the truth.
github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode
lol max!!
