I mean I’d rather not die gasping for breath

How do you like it? I tried it a few years ago, but my vim muscular memory made it feel as uncomfortable as learning vim for the first time.

Just get used to

• using movement (hjkl),
• going between insert and normal modes (i and esc),
• undoing (u from normal mode),
• and saving (:w and :wq).

Don’t try to do it all at first, just get comfortable with the essentials. You can even just stay in insert mode (the only mode in most editors) at first.

Keep a vim basics cheat sheet handy for a couple weeks as you’re building in muscle memory, then slowly work in more advanced techniques and combinations.

It doesn’t take long before you start having a lot of fun just manipulating text.

PS here’s a decently basic cheat sheet I found:

Black hat v grey hat innit

Harder to quality control for though

Great analogy. I’m my experience there is an inverse relationship between the amount of time to find a bug and the size of the patch to fix it.

Sometimes it’s just one character off.

It’s actually so bad. It’s like racist stereotype bingo

My work here is don’t!!

Really well don’t mockup. Top satire

Look at that tiny numstat, I’ll finish the review before the CI is even done

Just skimmed but seems like a decent idea. Not that I’ve knowingly run into issues parsing JSON too much

this but ack

No but you should acquire a friend or two so you can check in on eachother periodically. Yeah I’m a loner too and I know it’s a bother, but just do it. The benefits are many and well documented.

It’s just being pragmatic. I have a pact with a friend that we’ll adopt the others’ dog if something happens to us

His family’s darkest hour is my family’s wildest, most impossible dream.

Actually I don’t know many people who actually dream of that kind of wealth - just enough stability and security to be able to live modestly from a life of labour and in to retirement.

Yeah I’m pretty popular. At this rate I should just add a /wp-admin webpage - according to my logs it’s in very high demand!

It’s so cool

Valid question, but to my mind it counts because it’s retro style.

Just like you can have contemporary classical music.

The scene is truly eternal. I’ve dipped in and out of it myself over the decades. It’s so incredibly rich.

If you haven’t tried it I’d recommend checking out Doom Builder 2 and seeing how you like running around a room you just made. It’s addictive in a Minecraft-esque sort of way.

I haven’t made a new map in years and I was just scratching out a level idea in a notebook just this Friday. I guess it never leaves you

My answer to both would be Doom (1993).

They’re also getting increasingly more efficient at funneling profits to the top, rather to the greatest value producers: labourers. This is wage theft. Get it all the way to 100% and you have slavery.

Though important to note that slavery does not just meant you don’t get paid. Though I don’t think anyone needs a splainer on that.
