The other thing I will do is to use both Vim and Neovim.

:vim: for local system admin
:neovim: with LazyVim for dev and other use

The idea here is to create my own custom .vimrc tuned for local system admin stuff, that can me reused everywhere so it is the same on all machines. Including when I log in remote.

21 episodes in, I am gloriously overwhelmed about everything Marco in them shown :vim: gives me to learn using.

While I can easily see how incredible powerful and efficient it definitely can be - The hard part will be to learn good enough to not have to break focus on what I want to use it for. Having to constantly look at cheat-sheets or :h pages.

I think a strategy that allows me to create efficient task workflows, identifying sequences of #VimMotion that I commonly will use.

My company hired a new scientist and I met him yesterday; turns out he's a #vim user! With me being an #Emacs user that makes us the only two old school devs in the company!

Thank you good old Vim!

Even though I’ve been using you for more than a decade and have installed some plugins, I’m not an expert at operating you. But using you gives me a good feeling and is simply fun - thank you!

Installing ; removing it immediately after a notification that it installs an feature.

The only reason I don't uninstall is because I don't want to learn

I’m rather smitten with the *idea* of dev containers and, to a degree, the reality delivers. Reproducible environments. Familiar primitives. Editors with decent adoption offer a good experience. Most engineers understand containers well enough to tolerate the rough edges.
But I can’t shake the feeling there are better ways to reach the same goal.

The usual answer is “Nix”, and that’s probably right. Yet the rise of Dev Containers feels less like a breakthrough and more like a side-effect of the container monoculture. They work because containers are everywhere, not because they’re especially well-suited to dev environments. If there’s a real successor, it likely abstracts Nix *away*, integrates cleanly with editors, and doesn’t require heavyweight plugins or full VM-scale artefacts to edit a file.

What’s wrong with dev containers? They’re slow, expensive, and bloated relative to the problem they’re solving. I’m still invested, and I’ll keep using them. But it does feel like, as an industry, we’ve settled for the first thing that worked rather than the best thing we could build.

This is her not me

She wanted y'all to have another peek up her skirt

A rather aesthetically pleasing bottom and all

Composable dashboards aren't just for neovim, though they're lovely over there.

Don't want to compose inline, no problem

<leader>WoP pushes the changes up to Oculus, Render MD refreshes (we'll get to autorepaint when I get annoyed enough)

Any fence you want. Built ins cover AWS with boto (shown below), http:[get|post|patch|delete], sqlite in memory to remix, steampipe's supposed to be down there somewhere; haven't had a need yet, probably more. Then GraphNode is the extension, just write a bit of python, ruby too in theory (my lady friend); we just haven't had a chance to play yet since she stopped in. Parameters through markdown based ## config registers , an execution context with full access to the graph.

Middleware on the way up.

What's the funniest instance of vim keybindings you've ever come across? I'll start: the grading software that we use for our final exams uses HJKL to switch between questions while grading!

TL;DR: si vous utilisez encore HJKL (ou pire : les flèches), z’allez apprendre plein de trucs utiles. Vim c’est la vie.

[EDIT] Oui, j’étais en béquilles. C’est une vieille tradition grenobloise que de se mettre périodiquement une grosse tarte en montagne pour se faire des entorses, des déchirures musculaires ou les deux. Ça va mieux là, merci. <3 [/EDIT]

NeoVim can't recognize .env files so commenting out uses ; instead of #.

To fix that use this in your config:

#neovim #vim #bash #cli

vim.filetype.add({
     pattern = {
         [".env"] = "sh",
         [".env.*"] = "sh",
     },
 })

Being a user, I wanted to write LaTeX using vim, so I found out about and began following a tutorial which suggested the use of , which I am now dutifully learning about. I fully intend to finish learning each rung of the ladder I descended to get here. This is why I never learn anything.
