Was freeing disk space the other day and found tens of GiB of old stuff in cache folders - picking stale from fresh by hand. Annoying enough that I built it into putzen.
Out today: `putzen caches` a #ratatui TUI for cleaning cache folders.

I had ~40 shell aliases—project-specific and often conflicting.
So I built amoxide: an alias manager that auto-loads the right aliases when you cd into a project, with stackable profiles (rust, git, node…).
Like direnv, but for aliases.
