Latest command line tools I learned to love: ripgrep over grep and fd over find

Latest hardware: Raspberry Pi Zero W for tinkering. To me it is crazy what they have achieved with those little computers and how it can be used for education.

Indeed. I have a pile of Pi's, and they're always configured for the weirdest things that interest me at any given time.

The Rpi 4 is pretty much a game changer. As is the Zero-W. The two together are something really great.

What blows my mind is that the Rpi 4 boots a hell of a lot faster than my workhorse Mac Pro. That Mac has 14G of RAM and 4Tb of hard drive, but I use my Pi's for desktop stuff because they are so uncluttered and fast as a result.

PS: Get a clusterHAT. Trust me. You won't get much sleep as you get the hang of super computing on these tiny-yet-brilliant things.
