+Sometimes typing out `awk '{print $1}'` just takes too long. Today I decovered [choose](https://github.com/theryangeary/choose?tab=readme-ov-file).
+It makes selecting a field from an output much faster.
+
+Now instead of:
+
+```shell
+$ gss | rg awk | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs hx
+```
+
+I run:
+
+```shell
+$ gss | rg awk | choose 1 | xargs hx
+```
