CLI :: The power of $tee
tee command is helpful when you need to store and view, both at the same time, the output of any given command.
usage example:
- When you need to save a sudo requiring file while inside a non-sudoed vim execution, without quitting vim. (usage explanation)
:w !sudo tee %
I'm quite sure you'd agree with this being the first most common usage of tee.
- When needing to examine the too-long output of an executable JAR. I wanted to have a look at the complete log in detail (being able to search over it). In other words, I wanted to execute it and have the output both in the sysout and in a file.
$ java -jar runnable-jar.jar | tee log.txt
CLI :: watch the Kubernetes
watch is one of my favourite commands when working with async scopes where the task result is delayed in time.
example of usage:
- watch the application of certain configuration over Kubernetes
$ kubectl apply -f config.yaml
$ watch kubectl get pods | nodes | services | whatever resource
- another common usage I make of it, is when working on a specific API endpoint returning a JSON content-type, as a quick test assurance. I just watch whether the specific desired expression is being satisfied over time
$ watch "http :8080 /whateverendpoint | jq 'whatever expression'"
watch :: MIT missing semester
I would have loved having this resource while I was in the uni, but yet now, I'm enjoying watching it.
MIT has released a bunch of videos (1h approx each) about the following basic topics:
- The shell
- Shell Tools and Scripting
- Editors (vim)
- Data wrangling
- CLI
- Version control (git)
- Debugging and profiling
- metaprogramming
- security and cryptography
- potpurri and Q&A
Hope you enjoy them as much as I and thanks to whoever started spreading the word on my twitter TL

Whenever the meeting discussion starts to run off track the chair picks up Elmo to indicate "Enough Let’s Move On"

Been thinking about this for a while and think I'm gonna start trying the autogen key of Firefox Lockwise mode
