Try vim.tiny -u NONE For a smaller vim with less features. 3.9mb on my system. I don't have the original vi to compare, but when we are getting this small, any further memory savings are just noise, unless your dev box is a st

You can use an ORM and hand written SQL. They are not mutually exclusive. I think hand written sql is overall safer than an ORM. With SQL it's easy to select only the fields you need, and only update fields you need. ORM's want to

I don't use vim, but supposedly Paul Graham, the creator of this site uses vim for lisp. You really don't need that many fancy tools. Vim already has a visual hint for matching parens. It's nice to load stuff into the lisp im

I use good old fashioned numbered SQL scripts. 01_foo.sql 02_bar.sql 03_baz.sql In my local dev environment, I have a DB backup representing the current state of production. This is the starting point SQL scripts must be applied to. A deplo

You probably mean the Android operating system. Every celebrity out there already uses linux on their android phones. PSA: the linux kernel is just one tiny irrelevant component of an android system. It's google's system level uti

ditto. Hacker news also works great on mobile devices. While every other so-called mobile app/website is a pain in the butt.

Poker 3. 60% size. Cherry MX clear switches. I prefer a larger 10 keyless at a fixed office space, but 60% is nice if you are on the go. Flat keyed laptops are terrible for real work.

C++ and postgress. In theory it should be the worst choice for fast prototyping. No interactive development like lisp. Forces types on you. No awesome web framework. But I'm so familiar with the language and tool chains I can prototype

> Oct 2010 - Feb 2014 : Vundle (Discontinued after NeoBundle ripped off code) Looks like Vundle has an MIT license. rip off usually implies something negative or dishonest. Copying MIT licensed code is a normal and encouraged activity.

command line? C/C++. Compiling separately for each environment is the best kind of cross platform for the end user.

Git and Github are are like philosophically opposed. Git is distributed. Who cares if a hosting server is lost? 5 minutes and you're up on a different server.

On my team we use numbered sql scripts. We restore a production db on our local boxes. This is the starting point. The numbered scripts are executed against this. So the actual deployment is getting tested out locally all the time. This

I agree with your disagreement. But there are cases where it has paid off to be a lowly startup employee. For example google itself.

Master grep. Searching is not perfect, but it's a trick that gets your petty close to any IDE feature. Find refs, go-to def. Even completion becomes possible via searches. Search to open the class/struct... boom now you can use du

You quote "in-house Java expertise" then recommend Go? Man that is not what you should quote, and he should use Java.

On the deployment side of things... Many developers don't get the concept of deploying a patch. They envision a script for each DB object stored in source control. Mimicking the the Java class files for all their objects. That's f

FYI some people were taught to use an apostrophe to imply ownership. It used to be the "official" way, but no longer. The gorilla guards it's bananas.

An algorithm or data structure may be applied to various types of data. There's various ways to handle this. Macro expansion, generics (basically equivalent of macro expansion but as a language syntax), or losing types: void pointers,

I tried dvorak for a little while. Had the same impression as most. It feels good and many letter combos flow smoothy off the fingers. But no significant gains in speed. I switched back to qwerty for the ubiquity. Despite having no grand de

You lose weight by consuming less. Cut all calories from your drinks. Water, black coffee, unsweetened tea only. Eat a reasonable sized plate of food for your meals. Favor protein and vegetables over starchy-carby-french-fryish things. Don
