Tried to install LunarVim a few months back and it stubbornly refused to install because I had to manually install some dependencies, and then it had issues with the versions of those dependencies. It didn't even have a brew package. L

No, it is a command line thing. Neovim and vim are just the editor component of the bigger tools that is something like vscode. To get Neovim kind of things to be anywhere near usable for modern day development work, you need to bolt a file

This. I have been downvoted several times for telling this. Remote work will be a net negative for tech people. Apart from the obvious productivity losses(lack of collaboration, and supervision), work is likely to move to places where salar

Tramp in all honesty was not that seamless, its just that these are great editors, but they were not invented in the context of the overall changes in how programming is done today. To me the biggest plus of emacs/vim is they make it e

vscode is very good at this, and is the primary reason why I even use it. Frankly speaking the vim/emacs lines are yet to catch up with this sort of thinking. vscode feels like you are editing on the local machine. The experience is se

Those are not the type of engineers they resent either. They resent literally the top engineers. Because they think they did better in entrance exams. Only geniuses are supposed to be doctors, and they also paid more fees and spent more tim

If the deal is making money there are better ways than even coding, you better off working a job in Gulf, or learning something like stock trading well. Coding just happens to be placeholder for a range of jobs that pay well currently. >
