This is the most alien (to me) workflow that I have ever read in HN. And that includes emacs.

Nice analysis. I cant do something similar, because I use a myriad of devices. Since last week I have tried to simply spend less time on the phone. I want to gradually get to <1 hr a week.

As per HN headlines, files are hard, git is hard, regex is hard, time zones are hard, money as data type is hard, hiring is hard, people is hard. I wonder what is easy.

Last FIFA World Cup I was looking for recaps on Youtube after the day's matches. A lot of results were unofficial videogame recreations (think XBox EA Sports FC) of the real match final score. It was very weird.
