"Software development is much more of a craft. A craftsman uses whatever tools he thinks will get the best result, no matter if they are what everybody else is using or something different. And a good craftsman makes his own tools when needed" -B. Moolenar.

As someone who had made vim is part of the development dna: Thank you.



Embodies the most amazing part about vim well. From text-objects to macros to registers, vim is a dynamic programming environment where we are capturing state and invoking little scripts.

Vim is spellcasting in the fly. Not puzzling out complex rotes to perform dutifully, but building a potent ether around us & then applying a little twist just so to alter the universe around us.


This is not a dig, just a concerned citizen: I would encourage you to check whether your microdose schedule has crept up from the standard 10-25µg into what looks like 50-75µg. It's one of those things that other people suspect long before you do. In any case, have fun, practice safe sorcery.
