#Pikchr (pikchr.org) is a great little piece of software from the SQLite folks. It parses a little language for describing diagrams with boxes and lines and things, and puts out SVG.

#OrgMode (orgmode.org) has, among many other things, a way you can make code notebooks, #OrgBabel. Like #Jupyter, but less webby, and inside #Emacs, and supporting many languages - even multiple in the same document - thence its name.

Thanks to the ob-pikchr package by @SReyCoyrehourcq, Pikchr is one of the languages you can just write in the middle of your document this way.

Pikchr supports #darkmode, and I've just made a pull request that gets ob-pikchr in on the dark-mode game.

Many thanks to Sebastien for the help ob-pikchr has provided in diagramming my thoughts! You go use it too!

Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance 🙂

Once you start looking at #aws #costoptimization in your #s3 #buckets you start seeing #opportunities #everywhere across your accounts. But I have #scripts to tell me the biggest #opportunities now. Bonus that I have a better handle on #orgbabel #jq now, I guess?

Let's see how quickly we can put 457M objects and 161TB of data into cheaper storage tiers. I'm guessing the answer is more "eventually" than "quickly."
