VSCode config to disable popular extensions' annoyances (telemetry, notifications, welcome pages, etc.)
// I'm tired of extensions that automatically:
// - show welcome pages / walkthroughs
// - show release notes
// - send telemetry
// - recommend things
//
// This disables all of that stuff.
// If you have more config, leave a comment so I can add it!!

Engineering

  1. What tech stack do you use? Are you rolling out new technologies or sunsetting older ones? Do you have any legacy system that you need to maintain?
  2. What is your maturity stage? Finding a direction, feature work, maintenance...
  3. What are the next big engineering challenges you will face?
  4. How are requirements delivered to the engineering teams? How are technical decisions made and communicated?
  5. What level of involvement do engineers have in relation to architecture and system design? How much freedom for decision making do individual developers have? What happens if an engineer identifies areas of improvement?
  6. What is the junior/senior balance of the team?

VSCode Remote: Connect to WSL2 from another machine

Do you want to do remote development on your WSL2 container in Visual Studio Code? Read this.

Proxy jump method

  1. On the host set up OpenSSH for Windows
  2. Run wsl --update to make sure you are running the latest WSL
  3. Open WSL and install another SSH server inside WSL with sudo apt-get install openssh-server
  4. Now run sudo systemctl enable --now ssh to automatically start ssh when WSL starts.

58 bytes of css to look great nearly everywhere

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}
