Shout for DANGER

Free idea for anyone who wants it.

I've been juggling so many LLM-based editors and CLI tools that I've started collecting them into meta scripts like this shell-completion-aware edit dingus that I use for launching into my projects each day.

Because many of these CLIs have separate "safe" and "for real though" modes, I've picked up the convention of giving the editor name in ALL CAPS to mean "give me dangerous mode, please."

So:

$ edit -e claude posse_party

Will open Claude Code in ~/code/searls/posse_party in normal mode.

And:

$ edit -e CLAUDE posse_party

Will do the same, while also passing the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag, which I refuse to type.

Got a taste for hot, fresh takes?

Then you're in luck, because you'll pay $0 for my 2¢ when you subscribe to my work, whether via RSS or your favorite social network.

I also have a monthly newsletter where I write high-tempo, thought-provoking essays about life, in case that's more your speed:

And if you'd rather give your eyes a rest and your ears a workout, might I suggest my long-form solo podcast, Breaking Change? Odds are, you haven't heard anything quite like it.
