story of my tools 🛠️
🚫
This post is also work in progress post… 🙈
We become what we behold. We shape our tools and our tools shape us. –Marshall McLuhan
Our journey from cave to houses, we have been constantly evolving with our brain and its ability to use tools to our intent. We have gained advantage over other species and even among our own just by building the tools and exploring new ones.
my prefs:
Tools I use should be:
-
mousej, k, h, l friendly- should save me keystorkes
-
should adopt to my need
- easy to customize with rc file of any kind (yaml preferred)
- best if it is kiss or tool does one thing, and does it well
