Snippet Pixie: Next – cli: improve error messages | Always Developing #214

Improved the error message displayed by CLI when trying to add a new snippet with an already existing abbreviation. Went down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to work out the best place to test for the duplicate.

Then gave the CLI a bit of a test to try and find any more errors that needed fixing, ultimately wrote up a bunch of new tickets for polishing the CLI.

Live coding an app with Go and SvelteJS.

Before starting every work day, I do half an hour or so of noodling on side projects, making sure to keep them moving forward, albeit slowly.

Working on these side projects is how I learn new programming languages, frameworks and technologies.

Chances are I’ll fail miserably each and every day, so at the very least you can take comfort in seeing a so-called senior developer fumbling through some development with little success.
