You're looking for a remote job. The sort of companies I'm thinking of most likely won't do remote. Maybe it's different now in the era of COVID, but I suspect they'll still be "asses in chairs, look busy"

I'm guessing #7 contributed to the fact that it took the author 1 year to find another job. If you're desperate, you can most likely find an _okay_ job in 3 months. If you don't have the luxury to wait for a "good"

I'm sure it is! But I got used to everything following vim logic, so when I use an IDE that doesn't, I miss it/get annoyed. My comment wasn't meant to dissuade anyone from trying the vim plugins. I was just trying to exp

The problem with every fake vim plugin is that the underlying editor does not implement tabs the way vim does. Combine that with the fact that all the UI elements are not vim-ified. In vim, since everything is a pane and a buffer, you just

I have never considered using the cli fun. The reason I use it is because it provides a better experience than using a GUI in many cases. I don't see how writing CLI commands is similar to building something with your hands. You either

Yeah, it also doesn't cover remotes and the decentralised model of git. I do think understanding that it's a graph is the first step to grokking git though. The other stuff makes more sense after that (at least in my experience).
