YOLO: debug only after push

⚠️ This post is over one year old. It may no longer be up to date or relevant. Opinions may have changed.

Whenever writing new posts in this blog I rarely preview them in advance, especially when they are short and simple¹.

My rushed workflow is roughly:

open a new terminal tab / window
cd ~blog
just new "hello world"
vim content/posts, hit ‘G’, hit ‘k’, hit ‘ENTER’
draft the post
:Gwq (vim-fugitive, git integration)
git commit -m "new post: hello world"
git push

ONLY then, just, open web browser, see if it looks OK.

Does it NOT look OK (grammar errors, markdown issues, typos)? Make a quick edit, :Gwq again, git amend && git push -f.

Normally this process happens faster than the CI pipeline takes to build and subsequently publish the site.

No AI involved™, not even a spellchecker².

Which is what I strive for most of the time anyways. ↩︎
Not completely true: codespell is integrated via pre-commit. vim has :set spell. That’s all though. There’s no “make this sound better” or “rewrite this more professionally”. What you read is what comes straight off my brain. ↩︎
