Published date looks like Jul 8, 2025 but I ran across it today Jul 24. Affected extensions at least on Chrome seem to have been pulled at this time; haven't checked Edge, although I assume they would have been pulled too.

lol what? For those without perl readily accessible to them, 'v102.111.111' becomes 'foo' and 'v128513' gives you a smiley emoji. I'm not sure I even want to know.

In general this author is comparing robust vim solutions with golf-style solution in Kakoune (i.e. assuming the example is the only thing in the buffer). I'm not saying multi-select and Kakoune's predicate-then-verb (instead of vi
