11·
1 year agoI dislike magic. Theres so much stuff you never learn if you rely on magic. Like most people got no clue what a csproj file contains. And neither did I. Just a bunch of xml lines grouped seemingly randomly. And sln files are hard (not impossible) to create or modify without that dotnet sln
magic (or VS gui).
And despite not being a vim user myself even I had to laugh at how those article authors completely missed the point of vim. 🤣
Learned that VERY recently from here, at NDC Oslo 2023, he mentioned it around 42:54. The whole talk is worth watching, its about the history of javascript all the way back to FORTRAN (the talk itself starts at 25:03).
