Here is a list of things I am currently working on or learning.

Working on kulala.nvim and kulala-fmt

I am currently working on a new Neovim plugin called kulala.nvim.

It is a replacement for the achieved rest.nvim plugin.

I started it, because I started a new job and I needed a better tool for my daily work (mainly working with APIs).

I also started a new formatter called kulala-fmt.

It is a formatter for .http and .rest files and accompanies the kulala.nvim plugin.

Getting started with bitbucket

We are using Bitbucket at work and I am currently getting all the ins and outs of it.

But, to be honest, I am not a big fan of it. I’m more of a GitHub person.

I’m missing a lot of features that GitHub has, like the GitHub CLI, GitHub Actions, GitHub Packages, etc.

Started a new job

I started a new job at TBInt as a Cloud-Native Backend Developer.

I am working with Python, TypeScript, Docker, GCP, Terraform, GQL, SAP and a lot of other cool 😎 stuff.

That’s so cool, because I previously (mostly) worked with AWS, Terraform, Docker, gRPC and TypeScript.

I am excited to work with a great team and to learn ✨ a lot of new things and make an impact 🥷.

I’ve never heard of TBInt before, but they are such a great 💪 and huge 🐋 company.

Back to Gnome

Here I am again, back to Gnome.

I tried to switch to i3 and then to sway, but I missed some features and the simplicity of Gnome.

Too be honest, it just gets the job done and gets out of the way.

ZSH hacking

I previously used bash as my shell, but I recently switched to zsh.

I started out with oh-my-zsh, but I quickly realized that it’s too bloated for my taste.

The startup time was a bit slow and I didn’t need most of the features. So I started to build my own setup from scratch.

With all the things shaved off that I don’t need, I managed to spin up a new shell twice as fast as before.

The greatest impact on the startup time was the removal of the nvm script.

But as I need nvm for my daily work, I decided to try out lazy loading the nvm script.

This helped to shave off quite some time from the startup time.

I’m quite happy with the results.
