How Claude Helped Me Fix a tmux Keybinding Conflict As a years-long user of tmux, I’ve developed muscle memory for certain keybindings. One of these is prefix + ctrl-s for switching to the previous window (last-window). Recently, I installed tmux-resurrect, a plugin that saves and restores tmux sessions. By default, it binds prefix + ctrl-s to save the session state. I struggled with this for much too long; every time I tried to switch windows, I was inadvertently saving my tmux environment instead. I wasn’t looking forward to digging into the tmux-resurrect documentation, but then I realized that Claude could solve this problem quickly. ...
What I've learned about Neovim
What I’ve Learned About neovim Here are some of the things I’ve learned about Neovim: I need to keep my Neovim configuration separate from Vim.

Information for Interpreters
Information for Interpreters I’ve worked as a software engineer self-taught for over 10 years. I grew up oral, using hearing aids and lipreading. One-on-one, I am an adequate lipreader. I got cochlear implants, my right one in 2020 when I was 36 years old, and my left one in 2024. These implants have greatly improved and faciliated my communication. I started learning American Sign Language in college when I was 17 and still in high school. I am fluent in ASL. In a group setting, I usually prefer to have interpreters so I don’t miss crucial communication. I default to speaking for myself in hearing settings. If there is a Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing person present and they know ASL, I will generally try to simcom (simultaneous communication) unsuccessfully. I may choose to switch to full signing mode with an interpreter present.
