I’ve tried vim on and off during college but never really had the time to fully get working with it. As it turns out the stress of two degrees is not conducive to “fun activities”. Now that I have a real job ™️, I’ve decided to finally try and use it this week full stop and I genuinely feel like a programming chad. There’s still a lot I’ll need to learn and probably overtime I’ll discover some inefficiency in how I’m using it now but it really does just feel good. I understand the hype now.
I like to say that using Vim turns editing into an optimisation puzzle. That will either sound super fun to you in which case you’ll probably love it or it will sound like a nightmare in which case maybe it’s not for you.
I looove solving the optimization puzzles instead of actually doing my job :D
“Yes boss, I am working on that feature. Right now I am installing a new plugin that will save me 5 seconds and 14 keypresses!”
