On: Show HN: A native macOS client for Hacker News, built with SwiftUI

[rickknowlton]

crazy you built this thing in less than a week! did you use the claude code from CLI or via the macOS app to help with this? just kind of curious on your workflow!

Hahah yep. I prefer the claude code cli, it super charges the amount of work i’m able to do.

On: I found a useful Git one liner buried in leaked CIA developer docs

[rickknowlton]

honestly my go to is kind of similar, but I prefer using --format vs. straight grep. just feels like the plumbing is cleaner out of the box:

    git branch --merged origin/main --format="%(refname:short)" \ | grep -vE "^(main|develop)$" \ | xargs -r git branch -d

that said... pretty hilarious a dev was just like "uhh yeah ciaclean..." curious what... other aliases they might have??
