I keep telling myself that I will never break down and add the following to my .bash_aliases file

alias mdkir=mkdir

But it's so, so tempting.

@ovid what if alias mdkir to rm -rf instead, and see if that breaks the habit?

@luap Close, but what you really want is:

alias emacs=vim

Makes pair programming so much more fun!

:wq

#emacs #vim

@ovid

alias vi=emacs

Is how I became an emacs user. 🙂

@ovid: most emacsers are at least fluent enough to quit vim (a testament to how ubiquitous vim is rather than how "smart" emacsers are), so that would probably not have the intended effect. However, the inverse would anger quite a few co-workers at my workplace! (C-x C-c doesn't quite have the same ring to it)

@BryanBennett being ubiquitous isn’t inherently “good”.

@8r0fHA6ZurxVDP19vBJx: I didn't say it was though?
