First experience with Cloudflare workers: not bad. Some annoying fiddling to get worker + static Next.js app to have exactly the behavior I wanted, but other than that little speed bump, delightfully simple.

Bingo: found the smoking gun (or at least the smoke from the gun) in another tmux pane:. error: cannot lock ref 'refs/remotes/origin/main'. Looks like I was overzealous in running `git pull` in a superproject in one pane, and in a submodule in another pane, at the same time.

First time I've seen this in 18 years of using Git. fatal: Cannot fast-forward to multiple branches. Looking in FETCH_HEAD, I see the list of branches repeated twice. Wonder if it's a bug? A race? 🤔.

Bumped the Command-T version number straight to 6.1 (from 6.0.0-b.1) seeing as it has been accruing features. Was going to go all the way to 26, but didn't want to be accused of being an Apple fanboy

GitHub needs to let you react with arbitrary emojis (like Slack), or at least with a much larger set of predefined ones. It's irksome that you can only be gushingly positive, blatantly negative (👎) , or "confused'. As for the "eyes" emoji — nigh on useless.

Git came out 20 years ago and I've been using it for 18 of those years — definitely one of my favorite pieces of technology
