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.

I'm millennial and have never heard of that one.

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.

I own a home and a car and have done many remodels and car repairs in my life. I understand them plenty. This thread is about computers, so I was saying that my comment was scoped to computers.

I said "technical information", which does not include building cars or houses. In the context of this thread, we're talking about computers.

Videos are not easily indexable or searchable, and cannot have information therein easily disseminated to others. Textual content can also have useful contextual links for additional resources, which is more awkward to do with video (generally it's just a link dump for the whole video in the description). Also, humans can read much, much faster than we speak, so videos are a slow method of communicating information. You can mitigate it slightly by speeding up the video, but it's not really enough.

That all being said, videos are useful for topics like you mentioned that greatly benefit from having someone show you how to do something, i.e, physical tasks. It's much less useful for topics that are more abstract or conceptual, especially those that synthesize concepts from a variety of sources.

They are correct. YouTube is the worst way to communicate technical information. It's far, far better to learn information by reading than watching a video.

And, you know, most businesses aren't open at midnight. So you're more limited in what you can do in a day.

Also, getting a decent amount of sunlight is important, and that's harder to do when you're sleeping through a lot of sunlight hours.

4 is pretty early but 10:40am is also just pretty late to wake up unless you're like, a teenager or something (or work odd hours). A lot of the day is already gone by then.

IMO it's nicest when you can keep your waking hours relatively close to the time the sun is up.

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.
