-# List RDS Snapshots With Matching Identifier Prefix
-
-I'm working on a script that manually creates a snapshot which it will then
-restore to a temporary database that I can scrub and dump. The snapshots that
-this script takes are _manual_ and they are named with identifiers that have a
-defining prefix (`dev-snapshot-`). Besides the few snapshots created by this
-script, there are tons of automated snapshots that RDS creates for
-backup/recovery purposes.
-
-I want to list any snapshots that have been created by the script. I can do
-this with the `describe-db-snapshots` command and some filters.
-
-```bash
-$ aws rds describe-db-snapshots \
-  --snapshot-type manual \
-  --query "DBSnapshots[?starts_with(DBSnapshotIdentifier, 'dev-snapshot-')].DBSnapshotIdentifier" \
-  --no-cli-pager
-
-[
-    "dev-snapshot-20250327-155355"
-]
-```
-
-There are two key pieces. The `--snapshot-type manual` filter excludes all
-those automated snapshots. The `--query` both filters to any snapshots whose
-identifier `?starts_with` the prefix `dev-snapshot-` and then refines the
-output to just the `DBSnapshotIdentifier` instead of the entire JSON object.

-# Open Current Tab In New Window With Vimium

-Sometime I have a busy Chrome window going with a bunch of tabs open for

-I then open a new tab, find something useful, and realize I'm at a "branching

-involve opening several more tabs and switch back and forth between some

-# Filter ActiveModel Validation Errors
-
-Now that `ActiveModel` has a custom `Errors` class (as of Rails 6.1) instead of
-a hash, we get some useful functionality. Namely, we get a [`#where`
-method](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Errors.html#method-i-where)
-that allows us to filter errors based on the attribute name, type of
-validation, and even properties of that validation.
-
-Here I have created a new `Book` without any attributes. All of its validations
-are going to fail and we are going to have an `ActiveModel::Errors` object
-attached to it with several errors.
-
-```ruby
-> book = Book.new
-=>
-#<Book:0x00000001110397a8
-...
-> book.valid?
-=> false
-> book.errors
-=> #<ActiveModel::Errors [#<ActiveModel::Error attribute=added_by, type=blank, options={:message=>:required, :if=>#<Proc:0x0000000110096260 /Users/jbranchaud/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/activerecord-7.2.1/lib/active_record/associations/builder/belongs_to.rb:130 (lambda)>}>, #<ActiveModel::Error attribute=title, type=blank, options={}>, #<ActiveModel::Error attribute=title, type=too_short, options={:count=>3}>, #<ActiveModel::Error attribute=author, type=blank, options={}>, #<ActiveModel::Error attribute=publication_date, type=blank, options={}>]>
-```
-
-Let's say I want to check for a specific validation error. I can use `#where`
-to filter down by attribute name (e.g. `:title`). I can filter even further by
-including the validation type as well (e.g. `:too_short`).
-
-```ruby
-> book.errors.where(:title)
-=>
-[#<ActiveModel::Error attribute=title, type=blank, options={}>,
- #<ActiveModel::Error attribute=title, type=too_short, options={:count=>3}>]
-> book.errors.where(:title, :too_short)
-=> [#<ActiveModel::Error attribute=title, type=too_short, options={:count=>3}>]
-> book.errors.where(:title, :too_short).first.message
-=> "is too short (minimum is 3 characters)"
-> book.errors.where(:title, :too_short).first.full_message
-=> "Title is too short (minimum is 3 characters)"
-```
-
-This filtering could be used as part of conditional checks for what flash
-message gets displayed to the user or even what route/view gets rendered in
-response to the error.

-# Create A Filename With The Current Date
-
-I was recently working on a script to pull a scrubbed database dump using the
-`pg_dump` Postgres utility. Ultimately, the script does something like this to
-dump a remote database to a local file:
-
-```bash
-pg_dump \
-  -h host.region.rds.amazonaws.com \
-  -U db_username \
-  -d db_name \
-  -F c \
-  -f scrubbed-database-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).dump
-```
-
-Notice the last part of that command where we define the name of the dump file.
-It has a `$(...)` that is used to run and interpolate a command as part of the
-filename.
-
-Here is that `date` command run on its own:
-
-```bash
-$ date +%Y-%m-%d
-2025-04-02
-```
-
-In the above command, that would mean if I were to run it today, I'd get
-`scrubbed-database-2025-04-02.dump`.
-
-This approach can be used with any command where you are producing a file that
-you want to be dated or timestamped.
-
-Here is another example that incorporates the time as well:
-
-```bash
-$ touch $(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)-migration.sql
-# => 20250402_092442-migration.sql

-# Have Script ShellCheck Itself When Executing
-
-The [ShellCheck](https://www.shellcheck.net/) utility can be run against bash
-scripts to check if there are any warnings or errors we should fix. It works
-great as long as we remember to run it.
-
-I wondered if I could make it easier on myself by not having to remember to run
-it. What if my bash script were to `shellcheck` itself?
-
-Here is an example script where at the beginning it looks for and runs the
-`shellcheck` utility against `$0` (the path of the script). This is kind of
-meta. As the script is executing, it has an external program run against the
-entire contents of itself. If there are any `shellcheck` issues, they get
-displayed and the program exits early.
-
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-
-# Exit immediately if any command fails
-set -e
-
-# Self-validation using ShellCheck
-if command -v shellcheck &> /dev/null; then
-    echo "Validating script with ShellCheck..."
-
-    # $0 refers to the script itself
-    if ! shellcheck "$0"; then
-        echo "ShellCheck found issues in the script. Exiting."
-        exit 1
-    fi
-    echo "Script validation passed."
-else
-    echo "Warning: ShellCheck not found. Skipping validation."

-
-echo "Script execution continuing..."

-# shellcheck warning here
-read -p "Continue with current operation? (yes/no): " CONTINUE_WITH_EXISTING
-if [[ ! "$CONTINUE_WITH_EXISTING" =~ ^[Yy][Ee][Ss]$ ]]; then
-    echo "Operation cancelled."
-    exit 1
-fi
-```
-
-This last bit of the script with the `read` command will trigger a warning from
-`shellcheck`.
-
-```bash
-$ ./check.sh
-Validating script with ShellCheck...

-In ./check.sh line 23:

-# Bypass On-Save Tooling When Writing File
-
-Every once in a while I run into an issue where my code formatters or linters
-are misconfigured for a project. I try to save a file and it applies formatting
-that I don't want. Or in an extreme case, the error ouput of the tool is what
-overwrites the file.
-
-I need to troubleshoot my dev tooling eventually, but I don't want to get
-sidetracked at the moment. I just want to save the file. What can I do?
-
-Tools like linters and code formatters are typically hooked up to Vim via
-autocommands on certain actions like `FileWrite*` or `BufWrite*`. We can
-execute a Vim command like writing a file (`w`) while disregarding autocommands
-like so:
-
-```vim
-:noautocmd w
-```
-
-or, write and quit:
-
-```vim
-:noautocmd wq
-```
-
-This disables all autocommands for this one command. The file gets saved and
-the misconfigured formatters and linters don't clobber the changes you
-intended.
-
-See `:h noautocmd` for more details.
