You're not alone, jclancy. In the five years since this question was asked, there have been over a million other developers who got stuck in Vim and couldn't escape without a bit of help. Indeed, the difficulty of quitting the Vim editor is a common joke among developers.

Arq 5.8.5 for Mac Fixes a Bad Bug
I hate writing blog posts like this. In Arq 5.7.9 we changed the way Arq caches the list of objects at the destination for AWS, Google Drive and Google Cloud Storage. For those 3 destination types, all non-packed objects were stored in one “objects” directory. If you had years of backups and/or terabytes of data, […]

History of Emacs and vi Keys (2010)
In my study of keyboarding in the past 20 years, i've noticed that the choices of many shortcuts in many apps are adopted to the many aspects of the keyboard hardware of the time in use by the community. Emacs's keybinding is not simply based on the first letter of commands, but the QWERTY layout's key positions have…

Programmers Should Automate More
Last week, I created a small script to aid my workflow which left me wondering why I didn't make it earlier. It adds an option in [Finder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finder_\(software\))'s context menu to start a static web server in any folder which makes it easier to preview static websites. Technically, it's…

Turning Sublime Text into a Lightweight Python IDE
A solid text editor is a developer’s best friend. You use it constantly and it becomes like a second pair of hands. The keyboard commands you use daily become so engrained in your muscle memory that you stop thinking about them entirely.

Homebrew 1.2.0
Today I’d like to announce Homebrew 1.2.0. The most significant change since 1.1.0 is that most Homebrew taps (package repositories) in the Homebrew GitHub organisation have been deprecated and the currently buildable software moved into Homebrew/homebrew-core. This will improve the quality and availability of all…

Glob Matching Can Be Simple and Fast Too
Here’s a straightforward benchmark. Time how long it takes to run ls ( a* ) n b in a directory with a single file named a 100 , compared to running ls | grep ( a.* ) n b . Superscripts denote string repetition and parentheses are for grouping only, so that when n is 3, we’re running ls a*a*a*b in a directory…
