I frequently find myself running: $ slowish $ slowish | jq $ slowish | jq | grep I feel there must be a better way to build up pipelines incrementally without re-running. I could save each output to a file, but it's more verbose, and most of these tools have nicer output when stdout is a TTY.

One cute feature of markdown I'd not noticed before: there's no syntax for images *without* a description (i.e. alt text).  https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#images

I'm playing with DOT output for debugging syntax trees from difftastic. Here's an F# snippet, the Debug representation, and the DOT rendered as an image. I'm pleased with the information density on the graphic, but we'll see how often I end up using it.
