HoldMyType on Nostr: The reason I avoided IDEs to begin with was that back when I was getting into Vim, ...
The reason I avoided IDEs to begin with was that back when I was getting into Vim, like a decade ago, it was an extra license to look into," says Vim user John Carter (not of Mars). "Since then it’s become a question of 'code speed.' If I start with a new IDE or even switch to something like Emacs, I’ll slow down. On an emotional and professional level, I can’t really afford that. It takes energy to pivot to a new editor. I don’t have that energy. I got the job, a family, and side projects. It seems silly but that kind of pivot takes energy.
