A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

We've talked about this before: `gh pr co` is nice but doesn't add the remote. So here's a little script to check out someone's PR and push your changes to it:
```
gh-pr-co
...git wild & commit...
gh push pr
```
Or is there a better way?
Gist: gist.github.com/webpro/7d49e...
```
gh-pr-co
...git wild & commit...
gh push pr

Interestingly, Array.from(set) with mapper arg is twice as slow (compared to spread/Array.from().map) in Node. In Bun it's faster.
Passing in an [] is much faster than a set (but each item still has to be copied over). Here, Node is faster.
Only in rare cases should you worry about this, I'd say.

When authoring MD/X, so many things are powered by the unified ecosystem. In this tiny example:
→ Link path completion
→ Convert regular links to reference links
→ Sort & dedupe link definitions
...inside directives and JSX. Go nuts 😃

→ Not having to `ignoreDependencies` like husky, sharp, etc.
2) Complex projects + high expectations but unwilling to RTFM
Anything else? What bothers you most?

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
