I've just recently jumped on the vim train via the Neovim VS Code plugin. For a while now i've considered diving in, but felt completely out of my depth until starting a new job recently where some teammates use it exclusively. I have been getting used to the vim bindings over the last month or so and it's introduced a layer of fun to programming that i've not had in a long time.
Doing simple tasks still takes longer than it would using other editors, but it's made worthwhile by the occasional "holy shit" moment when i learn a new command or write my own macro. The muscle memory will take a while to drill in but I can absolutely see it improving my efficiency after some time. I recommend it for anyone who's considering
Impressive! But sadly closed source is a big limiting factor for me. I've been using the similar `devtools-x` for a couple of years now (https://github.com/fosslife/devtools-x) which hosts a bit of a smaller featureset but is still in active development. Nice work nonetheless!
Author of devtools-x here. Thank you for the support :D. We have 40+ features now (not counting json-to-yaml and yaml-to-json as 2 different tools), feel free to request any specific feature you want on the issue tracker. Will be more than happy to implement it.
One reason to use your own relay/discosrv (if anyone wants one) is that some of the public relays/discosrvs are also hosting Tor nodes, so Ubiquity's routers will tell their Admin you're using Tor.
And the 360 degree hinge is a big selling point for me! I'm glad i didn't pull the plug when i saw the KS go live last week. It's a great product but hard to justify spending more money for similar/worse functionality
I also wrote my own pseudo-DDNS recently! With inspiration from a couple of similar projects on github
Mine is a golang executable that runs directly on my OpenWRT-based router on a 30 minute cron job. The beauty of running it on my router directly is that I can simply query the `eth0` interface for my public ip address - no need for a `curl` to determine my public IP.
This hits strangely close to home and i totally agree. I've been a lead developer for the better part of a few years and have found that the nature of it has completely prevented me from committing to work on difficult tasks as there's a constant need to context switch and assist other devs or jump into a last-minute meeting.
I recently got the diagnosis (and medication) for ADHD which has made the world of difference. I've since had an ability to context-switch and focus in a way that I maybe never did until now. I found myself for a long time not even bothering attempting to open my IDE unless i knew that i would have a day void of meetings but now it kind of does feel like a superpower in a roundabout way.
The difference between medicated vs unmedicated ADHD is something that people can't understand.
Like just being able to focus on one task for hours. Easily.
Instead of your brain and attention bouncing between 15 different shiny things and eventually not getting anything done.
EXCEPT when there's a fire and production is horribly broken and you write the script that fixes it while the support team in India is still figuring out who to invite to a the meeting to discuss about starting to fix it :D (True story)
Or completely replacing the email logic throughout an application with a db backed queue service in order to ensure delivery when the previously configured SMTP direct delivery gets spotty in about 2 hours.
I love meteor for small scale project - personal / utility apps and such. I haven't found anything that compares to the efficiency of spinning up a POC app; that being said, in its current form it is horrible for making anything other than that. Real-world products need a more robust solution, and it's my experience that anything written with meteor will likely need to be re-written when it picks up traction
