Good Apps - Paletro

My current editor for coding is VS Code. Before that it was Sublime Text. Both of them have a lovely feature: The Command Palette.

By pressing a shortcut (cmd + shift + p by default), you get a search bar to search for any command the app offers. Sounds simple - and it is, but it is also very powerful. The most recently used commands bubble up to the top, it shows the location of the command in the menu and also the command's shortcut which helps to learn the actual way of triggering it via the keyboard.

Paletro brings all this power to any app on your Mac. 

You could have a downgraded version of Paletro for free by using the built-in search found in the help menu (cmd + shift + /), but this doesn't work in many apps anymore and it isn't as convenient or quick to use, in my experience.

PuppyCast 027 🐶🎙

Not a lot of training this week. Continuing to watch Zac George videos. Training is not a linear process. Walking a small day trail. Potty training has been going great lately.

My Microcasts

At the moment I publish three different microcasts (short, no-frills, solo podcasts):

  1. The Early Riser - daily, around 2 minutes about sleep, waking up early and related things - Feed URL
  2. The PuppyCast - weekly on weekends, around 10 minutes about my dog napu, training her, how she is growing up, etc. - Feed URL
  3. LeadDev - whenever, my newest project, maybe 5 minutes (or a lot more) about my work and how I approach journeying towards maybe becoming a lead developer at some point in the future. - Feed URL

I love microcasts because I don't always have the time to write posts. But since I'm frequently walking the dog, I do have the time to record something. I love to reflect about my life, my goals and ideas and this is the perfect outlet for it.
