A nice JDex entry: 14.32+1Password

I was editing this JDex entry the other day and it struck me that it was an exemplar, the Platonic ideal of what a JDex entry should be. So I thought I'd share it.

A screenshot of the note, which I will explain below.

ID & title

This is a textbook extend-the-end. This is my Small Business System, so the parent is 14.32 External software & services.

One of those external softwares that I use is 1Password. So this is where its configuration lives.

A log of events

Then I tell myself what I did, using links liberally. I created a service account; that link takes me directly to that setting in the web console.

When I note which of my 14.11 Computers & servers I affected with this change, I wiki-link to them. So this note now shows in their backlinks.

My memory

Then I tell myself how to use this new config to launch VSCode in the future. You think you'll remember this stuff. You never do. Write it down.

That's it

Mine tend to be pretty short. Get to the point.

This is exactly what your JDex is for. Especially in a business context: this becomes your operations guide.
