I’m pleased I don’t have to go to the BMV this year for my birthday, as I do on most. I got a 2 year plate sticker last year, and have a couple more on my license.

Bumping version tags with git
It is common to use git tags to manage software version numbers. Such tags are often done with a “v” followed by the version, eg “v1.2.3”. I decided I wanted to make managing these a little easier, so I made a git alias to make a new tag with the next version for me.

Hopefully I get to see more.
