One thing that has kept me on dwm for so long is that my patched configuration no longer needs any more changes and I take it with me wherever I go. it was challenging but rewarding.
Never an upgrade needed.
I eventually want to go to Wayland and River seems nice!
Also might want to give https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl a shot for dwm in Wayland
How’s the stability of bspwm for you? It used to be my go-to but I think multiple monitors would make it crash when I used it years ago.
I’ve reached for some complex awk when I am looking to parse snippets of code where breaking out a full language parser would have been too much.
One example is parsing statements from a Dockerfile but only within certain stages of the image. So I reach for regex range in awk and I can make something that works everywhere.
Of course I probably could have done the same thing in python by controlling the beginning and end via variables, but I like awk sometimes.
I don’t use lazyvim, but I found the “auto pairs” plugin you can try to disable
