I went to a Data and AI conference and in one of the breakout sessions, there was a guy literally taking notes in Vim.
Absolute madness!
I do it all the time. 🤪
I can navigate and organize my own notes 10 times faster than if I used most alternatives, especially with plugins like Neorg that support visually distinct markup output via concealer configs. There's even a presentation mode.
.. the cleaning paste?
Well well !!
It's a trap!
Whewf I’m boutta out myself or something, but …
after 15 years of vim, writing (and contributing to) a host of plugins, even running custom builds with my own patches …
I basically never boot up Actual Vim anymore?? I’ve basically entirely switched to VScode + VSCodeVim. embarrassing as fuck, in some ways, but jesus christ it’s just too goddamn good.
The neovim integration, even, was fantastic. (Although I don’t use it right now, for “VSCode Remote reasons,” lol.)
I'm thinking of switching from VSC to VIM because VSC is too hungry for ressources.
I avoid to open some monorepo projects because it takes too much time and I use the Github explorer to navigate in the project.
What on earth size of monorepo is that!? iirc, we’ve got ~1Mloc of OCaml, probably another two or three times that in assorted generated code, specs, config, infra, and other languages; and my VScode-Remote definitely boots up as fast as the network connection can stand up.
Definitely faster than I can think of the first thing I want to do … ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That said, I should own up to having had an absurdly overcomplicated vim config, tons of plugins, a decade n change of customizations and patches and shit. Maybe I’ve just always had a high tolerance for a slow boot. hahaha
It's a monorepo for around 30 micro frontend projects (Vue.js / Angular / Svelte mostly) + some libraries packages.
I don't know what is the number of LoC but it's medium sized frontend projects (we are ~100 developpers on this projects)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
