Bits and bytes of code

At work, engineers are strongly encouraged to use an additional factor of authentication for SSH keys, rather than the traditional passwordless approach. While Yubikey's work well for this type of thing, I found that 1Password's SSH support is actually much more ergonomic.

Neovim's vim.keymap.set and similar utilities are very useful for creating and managing keymaps, however they lack some ergonomics when building more complex keymaps that require setting and deleting the keymaps periodically. A simply utility function makes this really clean and easy to do.

ast-grep is a brilliant tool for code search and transformation that I've written about in a previous byte. Finding function calls with specific arguments is an area where ast-grep shines and makes it much easier to understand usage of a specific function invocation throughout your codebase.
