      I love Lua. Can I do anything useful with it?

      I don’t know a language. Some sort of decision freeze. I’ve tried Lua, C#, Linux BASH, and Java. I went from learning C# to homelabbing proxmox. I have more success learning IT stuff.

      Also I haven’t used Vim or Emacs, but I used to rebind ALL of my keys in every game I played. I deeply love keybinding and using the keyboard rather than the mouse.

      Vim is a text editor that works in a command line and therefore doesn’t require a graphical interface or windowing system, or anything like a mouse or trackpad or touch interface. It has a whole system of using the keyboard to do a bunch of things really efficiently, but the user has to actively go and learn those keyboard shortcuts, and almost an entire language of how to move the cursor around and edit stuff. It’s great once you learn it, so it creates a certain type of evangelist who tries to spread the word.

      This meme template is perfect, because the vim user really did learn a bunch of stuff, and then wants to try to convince other people to do the same, using a pretty unpersuasive rationale (not using a mouse while programming).

    This feels like me, especially when I have six different splits in a full screen terminal screen between vim and tmux and someone asks how I’m doing that.

      I work primarily in tmux and even in an IT department, people regularly say something along the lines of “woah are you hacking?”

      At times, I’ve also juggled (in addition to vim and tmux) hotkeys for my current tiling WM of choice and extra hotkeys to swap between machines via barrier. I’m not sure how I’m able remember what I had for breakfast, much less someone’s name.

    That meme’s been on the front page every day for the last week. Did karma farming bots make their way here?

    It’s only like that when you’ve learned them recently. Now I need to learn Rust. You also have to remember a ton of shortcuts in many GUI editors.

      I don’t understand why you hate seeing the same meme twice. Also I don’t think I ever saw it on lemmy. I don’t think it’s a meme that’s reposted all over, because I haven’t seen it on Reddit either and only saw it for the first time when specifically searching for vim memes. If I see a meme more than once and it’s a good meme, I enjoy it. Why do you not do the same?
