So I'm trying to remedy my carpal tunnel by considering making the decision to give up my mouse completely, and use only the keyboard. I look through a fairly recent discuss thread just about that, and I find the Wox repo. It's basically Alfred/Launchy from Windows. Awesome, night's off to a good start.
And then I notice this:
Wait, what? bless | Ramen???
Turns out it's a package to bless your code. And that's just amazing, cause while we work hard (usually) on developing useful tools for the world, it's makes me feel all good inside that someone spent some time to make it possible for ramen to bless our code.
So here we are, on a Thursday night: me, asking you what your favorite useless programming thing is, and you, hopefully showing me a whole new world.

Definitely got to keep that one in mind :-) . Also, I guess it tells a lot about your mindset if you write down the whole alphabet and 0 to 9 as a list instead of going [A-Z], [0-9] :-D
I use figlet to tell me what machine I've shelled into. Non-useless, because I'm an idiot and will get it wrong otherwise!
Also, piping it through lolcat makes it all pretty.
Aha that's great!
I'm quite fond of Vanilla JS
This is one of my favorites. I've made it a point to show it to the people I teach JavaScript to. :)

The BlessYourCodeTag is definitely up there on my list.
Also, activate-power-mode. (Thanks @ben )
Hell yes, I'm very glad activate-power-mode exists.
Now with a COMBO MODE!!!
The world needs more of this
I used it some time with my hyper.js terminal...
When I saw your comment, my first imagination was how you sit in front of your keyboard, smashing the keys, almost turning into a super saiyajin :D
We should eventually add the ability to render things easily on the window bitmap to Emacs someday...
I used this package when taking lecture notes all last semester, it helped to keep things interesting in non-CS courses.
I've seen that being used in a Code in the Dark challenge. It was hilarious as hell!
Yup, came to post activate-power-mode :)
Is there an extension for VSCode as well? 😊
@cloudpower97 indeed :D marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
Nice, thank you!
Going to have some fun with this extension 😂

Emacs "Zone"-Mode (It comes with Emacs)
We've got GitHub flavored markdown, so it's like so:
We'll definitely add it in the markdown cheatsheet though, not the first time someone's wondered. 🙃
This one is funny and potentially useful once every blue moon: foaas.com/
My favorite has to be /dev/null as a Service.
Thanks for the tip - maybe I can be their next "Map-Enlarge Engineer"...
TrumpScript - Making Python Great Again (github.com/samshadwell/TrumpScript)
It's a programming language inspired by Trump, and as a result is entertaining to read about but impossible to make use of for anything serious (as the docs say). Here's some of the features:
