Earthly and CLI Productivity with Adam Gordon Bell

Sep 15, 2021 by SED

As developers hone their craft, becoming more productive often means learning utilities and tools at the command line. The right combination of various parsing commands chained together through pipes can enable engineers to quickly and efficiently automate many adhoc data processing tasks.

In this episode I speak with Adam Gordon Bell about some of his favorite command line tools. We also discuss his role as a developer advocate for Earthly, a powerful tool for building software in a repeatable and understandable way. Adam is also the host of the Co-Recursive podcast.
