This was a very charming post! I clicked through and found myself reading another 8 blog posts from this person, and I concluded that this is the kind of person I think I'd like and like to work with. They appear to be an intern currently and probably will be looking for full-time work soon. (open hint to anyone looking to hire, this seems like a person I'd personally want to work with but alas am not in a hiring manager/recruiter position).

And, for what it's worth, I personally think Silicon Valley just gives a microphone to egomaniacs, which is different from turning charming tech people into egomaniacs. Zuck didn't need fame/money to produce Hot or Not. The quirky people I knew in college doing cool things are still doing quirky, cool things.


Have you tried `gron`?

It converts your nested json into a line by line format which plays better with tools like `grep`

From the project's README:

▶ gron "https://api.github.com/repos/tomnomnom/gron/commits?per_page..." | fgrep "commit.author"

json[0].commit.author = {};

json[0].commit.author.date = "2016-07-02T10:51:21Z";

json[0].commit.author.email = "mail@tomnomnom.com";

json[0].commit.author.name = "Tom Hudson";

It was suggested to me in HN comments on an article I wrote about `jq`, and I have found myself using it a lot in my day to day workflow


I've been considering using Reddit data to pre-seed the content in a successor to Reddit. Though I am unsure how that would stand legally.

As a side note, I created an alternative Reddit API[1] and Reddit didn't like that so much they banned my 13 year old Reddit account.
