Give me an editor in my terminal, not a terminal in my editor
B@cory I'll even take terminals in my terminal (tmux) over editors in my editor (Unity/Unreal).
@blainsmith tmux is one of those things I’ve never used but absolutely should. Meanwhile I’m over here building a CLI for the servers I manage.
@cory It's pretty nice especially if you manage remote servers. You can detach a session and exit SSH and it'll persist what you were working on. Pretty great and a big ecosystem of plugins.
@blainsmith Right on. I generally ssh in and out for simple tasks like updates. I sync my dotfiles across them all using Chezmoi since it lets me conditionally exclude platform specific portions. Part of me also wonders if I could do proper dev from an iPad if I used vim and a cheap VPS as a dev box (minus iOS/macOS anyhow). 😆
@cory Yup I HAD to work this way at an old job. Every dev had their own AWS VM because the stack was unable to run on local laptops.
@blainsmith Oof, yeah, we did that at Guitar Center but used local VMs and Sublime Text inside of it. When I was at Technicolor we used Windows, but the systems guys ssh'd into Linux boxes and never touched Windows for anything dev related. 😆
Olivier Forget@cory @blainsmith it’s a good tool to have in your toolbox but FYI it changes the UX of your terminal. Things like scrolling don’t work the same at all under tux. Takes some getting used to.

@jimniels I’m over here forcing myself to learn vim, so I’m here for opinions and tips

Nathan Knowler@cory whenever there’s terminal in the editor, I end up in an editor (neovim) in the terminal in the editor (vs code).
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.@cory ... with this declaration the editor wars reignited!
@BoydStephenSmithJr vim and two spaces, not tabs for me
@cory I prefer tabs, but it's a fairly mild preference. I'll be a conscientious objector medic in that particular war.
I have a friend that used to like to print code, and I think more horizontal white space is good when printing (and annotating) code and tabs are a simple way to achieve that.
@BoydStephenSmithJr Ahhh, interesting! I hadn't considered that. It's a mild preference on my end too (I'll go with whatever the established norm is for a project). I did have one job where each CSS rule set was on one line for "readability". We ended up changing that.
