🚀🥴 Behold, the riveting tale of yet another text editor that only a terminal-loving, Rust-worshipping zealot could adore. Apparently, opening files and multiple tabs is such a Herculean feat, it demands an entire blog post. 🖥️🤦‍♂️ Spoiler alert: it's not 1800 anymore, and no one cares about your shiny new toy, Jonathan. 🙄

Helix: Why (And How) I Use It | Jonathan's Blog

I’ve come to accept that I’m just a sucker for shiny nerd things. I use Rust, despite never having had a professional reason to use it in my life. I switched to Linux in my student years and I’ve never looked back since, even though it constantly breaks and I can’t get my Bluetooth headphones to connect. I have a split keyboard with home row mods set up because I read some random blog posts and it looked cool to me. I literally learned to program because I figured I should learn how to do more nerd stuff.
