This “Today I Learned” repository is a living notebook of concise tips, commands, and gotchas collected across many tools and languages. Entries are intentionally short—often a paragraph and an example—so they’re easy to search, skim, and apply in a pinch. Topics span everyday developer concerns: shell one-liners, Git incantations, editor tricks, language quirks, and small debugging patterns that save time. Because each note is atomic, the collection grows organically without becoming a tangled tutorial or book; readers can dip in anywhere and learn something useful in a minute. ...

...Suggested values for arguments are dynamically displayed in a list. it will spare you from knowing CLIs by heart. It will spare you from copy-pasting output from intermediate commands. It will make you type less. It will teach you new one-liners. It uses fzf, skim, or Alfred under the hood and it can be either used as a command or as a shell widget (à la Ctrl-R). There are multiple ways to use navi. For example, by typing navi in the terminal, which you have access to all possible subcommands and flags, or as a shell widget for the terminal, the shell history is correctly populated (i.e. with the actual command you ran instead of navi) and you can edit the command as you wish before executing it. ...

Think Smalltalk in a Lua-sized package with a dash of Erlang and wrapped up in a familiar, modern syntax. The VM implementation is under 4,000 semicolons. You can skim the whole thing in an afternoon. It's small, but not dense. It is readable and lovingly commented. A fast single-pass compiler to tight bytecode and a compact object representation help Wren compete with other dynamic languages. There are lots of scripting languages out there, but many have unusual or non-existent object models. Wren places classes front and center. ...

...Because it’s maintained by many contributors and covers hundreds of topics, it has become a go-to reference for developers and devops engineers alike. The design emphasizes minimal friction: open a cheat sheet, skim for details, and return to work—no long reading required. For teaching, onboarding, or as a quick lookup library, it offers high-utility resources without the overhead of full documentation.
