## What it is
A large, actively maintained collection of short 'Today I Learned' write-ups covering thousands of small tips across dozens of languages, tools, and technologies. It serves as a searchable public knowledge base rather than a software artifact.

## Use cases
- find quick tips for git commands
- learn small vim and neovim tricks
- look up shell and bash one-liners
- discover concise explanations of javascript and typescript quirks
- browse short postgresql and sqlite tips
- learn docker and devops tidbits
- find short notes on tools like jq, tmux, and sed

## When to choose
- you want concise, practical tips on a wide range of developer tools and languages
- you need a quick answer that doesn't warrant full documentation or a blog post
- you're looking for inspiration for learning in public or writing your own TIL repo

## When to avoid
- you need comprehensive tutorials or in-depth documentation for a specific technology
- you need runnable software, a library, or a tool
- you need authoritative or peer-reviewed reference material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, markdown, developer-tools
- domain: tutorials, developer-tools, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: til, today-i-learned, learning-in-public, notes, knowledge-base, snippets
