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.

    Movement is like 20% of why vim is amazing.

    Without macros I’m already out, registers are also mandatory, marks are very nice to have, etc.

    I have trouble even remembering what are some of the features called, it’s just musle memory now.
