Sometimes programming tools are so good that you miss them when using other languages. I see these mentioned the most frequently: * IntelliJ (for Java) * Slime+Emacs (for Common Lisp) * Pharo (for Smalltalk) I'm struck that they all have bespoke UIs.

"Example Driven Development" using Glamorous and Pharo Smalltalk: https://medium.com/feenk/an-example-of-example-driven-development-4dea0d995920 Tests returning values and composing is a really interesting model. It establishes structure and shows which test failure is the most 'fundamental'.

I'm experimenting with Atuin for searching my terminal history: https://atuin.sh/ Previously I'd just used fzf to find items, which does work nicely. Occasionally I *really* want to search "commands which were run in this directory" though, which Atuin offers.
