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 through a fairly recent discuss thread just about that, and I find the Wox repo. It's basically Alfred/Launchy from Windows. Awesome, night's off to a good start.
And then I notice this:
Wait, what? bless | Ramen???
Turns out it's a package to bless your code. And that's just amazing, cause while we work hard (usually) on developing useful tools for the world, it's makes me feel all good inside that someone spent some time to make it possible for ramen to bless our code.
So here we are, on a Thursday night: me, asking you what your favorite useless programming thing is, and you, hopefully showing me a whole new world.

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!!!
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.
We should eventually add the ability to render things easily on the window bitmap to Emacs someday...
The world needs more of this
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 😂
That Readme for BlessYourCodeTag is everything I wanted it to be. Hyper terminal has several fun plugins too!
This one is a-mazing: projects.haykranen.nl/java/
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"...
I'm quite fond of Vanilla JS
I LOL'd - literally...
This is one of my favorites. I've made it a point to show it to the people I teach JavaScript to. :)
Hard to go past System.Ben for me. Best .NET library in the world...
Fast and secure - by default!
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. 🙃
Update: I took it down when I moved my website. Sorry! It was useless anyway.
Well I did this: rekt.daniguardiola.me/
Not proud
I made the mistake of clicking this in the office with my sound on
Not proud
Is it wrong that I recognized

oh god my ears
Oh damnnnn
🤣🤣🤣
It's good to some fun with what you love i guess
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.
vanilla-css.com
Link 404'd :( You're probably missing
http://before the link.I really like doge
And also Rythm.js: a javascript library that makes your page dance!!
Check out the cool demo page
This is pretty cool
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
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.
