Thank you, past me

Starting off this morning I had a pretty good idea of what my day would be about, but it hadn’t occurred to me to think about whether or not I had any specific task I was working on when I left.

So I’m thinking “whaaaaat?! why did I leave uncommitted crap hanging around!”

I have git status aliased to ‘s’, and git diff aliased to ‘d’, so ‘s’ showed me that only one file had changes, and I decided to take a peek with ‘d’:

I left myself a teensy love-note last night before I went off to dinner, and as soon as I saw it, I reloaded a ton of mental context.

So thanks, me.
