It’s definitely not faster than vim, fwiw.

Yeah the city is progressive. Tornadoes… Not as much as you would think. There was one last year that hit the outskirts of town a bit. Last one to do any damage before that was like 2017.

Have you ever been to southeastern Nebraska? Like… Where most people in the state live? It’s nothing like western Nebraska. I live in Lincoln and it’s a great place to live: progressive, lots of parks, great school system, nice downtown area, beautiful university campus, etc. Nothing like you’re describing. Nebraskans don’t actually go to western Nebraska very much.

Most of the population lives in the southeastern corner of the state, in Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City, and some surrounding counties. I live in Lincoln and it’s a very nice place to live. Western Nebraska is completely different and not many people live there, and most people in the state don’t go there either unless they are driving through.

There’s no feeding going on. We’re simply laughing at their expense.

Nobody sane uses vim as an IDE

True, same people use unix as their IDE and vim as the editor therein.

What do you mean “build our dev environments around vim”? If you mean they write dev tooling in vimscript and explicitly require everyone to use it, I actually agree with you. I don’t believe employers should really ever force any particular editor or IDE if the work is getting done. I would be equally annoyed by a workplace forcing me to use vscode instead of vim. It would slow me down way too much.

If you are just complaining that they build dev tooling as a CLI, hard disagree. That is absolutely what dev tooling should use because it’s actually universal and can be used regardless of your editor choice.

At my workplace, our dev tooling is done via CLI and our developers use vim, emacs, and vscode. Because it’s all CLI, it’s easy for individual developers to add their own scripts to automate parts of their workflow as they see fit (and if such automations are deemed useful by the group at large, it will get merged into our shared devtools repo). We even have some editor-specific stuff in there people have written that they find useful, but it’s entirely optional.

Vscode definitely can’t handle large files like vim can. I can open files that are multiple GBs in vim without issue. Vscode definitely cannot.

As a native English speaker I can pronounce English words I’ve never seen before pretty easily. I’d say that there is a general system to it, but it just has a metric fuckton of exceptions. Though to be honest, it’s not really all that different from having to learn the genders for every single noun in gendered languages coming from a non-gendered language. At least pronunciation in English follows a certain kind of logic (albeit one heavily influenced by loanwords). Gendering of nouns has always seemed completely arbitrary and is just straight memorization.

Yeah I was gonna say, those aren’t the same at all. English has way more prepositions than French.

Most places don’t actually look like this. You see stuff like this when a single developer buys up a bunch of land and stamps down a bunch of houses with the same 2-3 layouts. It’s pretty shitty and I’d eager most people don’t actually like it.

Most suburbs here are much more heterogenous as the houses are added incrementally over time.

A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.

This is actually good advice, though.

Unix is my IDE, vim is my editor.

Yep. When everything about your IDE (unix) is programmable, it makes “modern” IDEs seem quite quaint.

Personally I make extensive use of https://f1bonacc1.github.io/process-compose/launcher/ to orchestrate a bunch of different shell scripts that trigger based on file changes (recompiling, restarting servers, re-running tests, etc.). Vim just reads from files as needed. It’s lightning fast, no bloat, and a world-class editing experience.

The director of IT at a trucking company absolutely would have power over the devices used by said company.

You’re the fucking problem. Maybe if you treated people with humanity and worked towards a common solution instead of using technology to drain people’s souls, you wouldn’t have people that hate the shit you’re slinging.

What you do makes the world a worse place to live in.

Yep. So much of this shit from “environmental activists” that have no fucking clue how any of this works. It’s been shown time and time again that nuclear is the answer for base load energy requirements with minimal environmental impact.

Proper homemade ranch, not that nasty Hidden Valley shit. It’s pretty great.

English may not be their first language (since the question mark thing is common in French, for example), though of course if that were true, their comment looks even worse.
