External Link printables.com [1] Someone has created a knock off of the ltt screwdriver and made it printable, and it works really well. I have one printed with 6 different bitholders. I popped some labels on them in bambu studio as I printed to mark them for metric/inch and so on. [2] I’ve had mine for about a year now, and I use it quite often. I used to be a dedicated screwdriver kind of guy, but as life has changed I’m not working out of a shop with tools at reach as much, I’m grabbing a couple of items and heading to a job in the house or a neighbors house. It’s not 30s to grab just the right dedicated screwdriver anymore. Also having some setup with hex and torx is a game changer. It’s also super handy that you can just pop the bits right into a drill or impact. [3] Highly recommended print. Sorry for not buying the real deal Linux, I got kids to feed here.

Vim has a handy feature to format text with gq. You can use it in visual mode, give it a motion, or if you give it gqq it will format the current line. I use this quite often while writing in markdown, I do not use softwraps in vim, so gqq quickly formats my current line into a paragraph. Once I have done this for a single line one time I typically switch to the motion for around paragraph gqap to format the whole paragraph and not just the current line. before formatting # [1] [2] after formattting # [3] [4] References: [1]: #before-formatting [2]: https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/01c19159-c0b5-4920-b73c-774284b09940.webp [3]: #after-formattting [4]: https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/e068e445-43e0-4e27-ac30-ac11e9cb9088.webp

A slug is the part of the url that comes after the domain. Commonly matches the file name of a markdown file many blogging systems. These are typically human readable, unique identifiers for pages within the site.

Wikilinks are a core concept within obsidian to link to documents by Slug [1] wrapped in double square brackets. These are commonly used within wiki site generators. [[slug]] Obsidian gives you a keybinding alt+enter to go to that file, but if it does not exist it will create the file for you in the root of the project. It’s a nice way to quickly make new documents. References: [1]: /slug/

Hotkey to open link under at the text cursor position while typing in edit mode I find myself not wanting to leave the keyboard for navigation and think a keyboard-only shortcut that could open a link at the text cursor position is at would be really handy for this case.

It was not obvious to me, but if you have a wikilink such as Trying Obsidian [1], you can jump to the file in obsidian, just like you can with lsp go to definition, the keybinding is alt + enter. References: [1]: /trying-obsidian/

- Very inspiring video Jason, these people faced adversity and crushed it. The market is so hard right now, its not easy to get a job, move around, and recover from a layoff. Everyone in this video just showed that you can make it in this industry right now, you just have to be willing to work harder than the rest. The bar is raising, a lot of great people are already putting in hard work to make it. Community is Key, Theo mentioned that a lot of the companies he works with don’t even post openings, they go to their community first and are often filling spots through lower risk community hires.
