The Stone Age Coding Evolution
The evolution of coding tools, as told by Vince McMahon's increasingly ecstatic reactions: Visual Studio Code? A mild nod of approval. Notepad++? Now we're talking - getting excited! Regular Notepad? *heavy breathing intensifies* Pen and paper? ABSOLUTE ECSTASY! Ancient stone tablet? *MIND COMPLETELY BLOWN* Nothing says "I understand modern software development" quite like forcing students to code on dead trees. Bonus points if you have to trace through a recursive function without being able to hit backspace.

The Great Editor Wars: AI Edition
Remember when we argued about text editors like they were sports teams? Now we're just watching AI companies slap version numbers on VS Code forks like they're NFTs. "My VS Code fork has more digits than yours" is the new "my dad can beat up your dad." Meanwhile, Emacs users are still configuring their first keystroke from 1976.

The Great Editor War: DOS User Has Entered The Chat
The GREAT EDITOR WAR rages on with Vim and Emacs users acting like they're in some kind of text editor street gang, flashing their keyboard shortcuts like gang signs! Meanwhile, the DOS_USER at the bottom is just standing there, absolutely BAFFLED that people would wage holy war over text editors when they're still typing commands like "edit.com" in a command prompt from the STONE AGE! 💀 It's like watching two people argue about the best way to climb Mount Everest while you're still figuring out how stairs work. THE DRAMA! THE TRAGEDY! The sheer AUDACITY of still using DOS in 2023!

Programmers Then Vs. Now: The Great Devolution
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DEVOLUTION of programmers is too real! 😭 On the left, we have the CHAD programmer of yesteryear - building an ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM FROM SCRATCH, talking directly to God, and casually mentioning CIA conspiracies while coding in 640x480 resolution like some kind of digital BARBARIAN! And what do we have now? A pathetic little doge in a coffee sweater, TRAPPED in Vim, desperately clinging to Stack Overflow and Spotify for emotional support! Can't even exit a text editor without begging for help! The audacity! The TRAGEDY! For the uninitiated: TempleOS was an operating system coded entirely by one man (Terry Davis) who claimed divine inspiration. Meanwhile, Vim is that text editor where generations of programmers have been held hostage because nobody remembers how to exit it (it's :q! by the way, YOU'RE WELCOME).

The Holy Editor War: Google Takes Sides

The Holy Editor War: Google Takes Sides
Google's passive-aggressive suggestion is the digital equivalent of a parent saying "I'm not mad, just disappointed." The eternal editor war continues as Google clearly takes sides in the Vim vs. Emacs holy war. Searching for Emacs only to be met with "Did you mean: vim" is like telling a Star Wars fan you prefer Star Trek—fighting words in certain circles. The editor rivalry is practically ancient in tech years, with developers forming tribal identities around their text editor of choice. Clearly, Google's search algorithm has chosen the cult of Vim, and isn't afraid to evangelize even when you're explicitly looking for its sworn enemy.

The Bell Curve Of Text Editor Enlightenment

The Bell Curve Of Text Editor Enlightenment
The bell curve of developer evolution: first you're a happy VSCode user with an IQ of 55, blissfully unaware of vim keybindings. Then you evolve into a crying, suffering Neovim zealot at IQ 100, spending more time configuring your editor than actually coding. Finally, you transcend to galaxy brain status at IQ 145 and return to VSCode because life's too short to spend 6 months customizing your init.lua. The true enlightenment isn't the tool—it's knowing when to stop tinkering and just ship the damn code.

Google Takes Sides In The Text Editor Holy Wars
When you search for "vi" and Google immediately suggests "Did you mean: emacs" - that's not a search engine, that's a declaration of war in the text editor holy wars. Google just picked a side in the oldest developer rivalry known to mankind. Next they'll be suggesting "Did you mean: spaces" when you search for tabs. The audacity!

Somebody Please Fix This
Ever opened a minified JavaScript file and watched your editor have a seizure? That's the top panel – text editors absolutely losing their minds when they encounter 20 million characters crammed into one unholy line. But 20 million separate lines? No problem! Text editors handle that with a smile, like they're saying "this is fine" while secretly burning your CPU cycles. After 15 years of development, we've perfected everything except making editors that don't choke on production code. The irony is just *chef's kiss*.

Text Editor Progression: The Path To Enlightenment
The evolutionary stages of developer brain expansion! Starting with the humble Notepad (barely firing neurons), progressing to VS Code (some decent neural activity), then leveling up to Vim (significant brain illumination), and finally reaching enlightenment with a custom text editor you built yourself. It's the coding equivalent of going from crawling to building your own rocket ship. The true mark of a developer isn't the code they write, but how unnecessarily complex they've made their text editing experience!

The Great Editor Alliance
The legendary editor wars have found common ground! Vim and Emacs users—sworn enemies since the dawn of computing—finally unite over their shared disdain for Nano. It's like finding out that Batman and Joker both hate karaoke. For the uninitiated: Vim demands arcane keyboard combinations that make your fingers do gymnastics. Emacs requires more modifier keys than there are stars in the galaxy. Meanwhile, Nano just sits there with its friendly interface and helpful shortcuts at the bottom, committing the cardinal sin of being... accessible . The tweet response "I knew there'd be a day when we could unite" is the perfect cherry on top of this decades-long rivalry finding its true common enemy—simplicity.

The Funeral For Productive Conversations
The perfect metaphor for the Vim user in every dev team. While everyone else is silently mourning the death of simplicity in text editors, that one developer just has to announce their undying loyalty to Vim. It's like a funeral for normal editing workflows, and the Vim enthusiast still can't resist the urge to tell everyone about their 47 custom keybindings and how they can delete a word with "diw" faster than you can reach for your mouse. The coffin might as well contain the remains of productive team discussions that don't devolve into editor wars.

VS Codium For The More Civilized Among Us
The bell curve of developer intelligence strikes again. In the middle, the 68% majority just want a text editor that works without drama. Meanwhile, at both extremes of the IQ spectrum, we have the "VSCode is just simpler" crowd who can't be bothered to learn keyboard shortcuts. Then there's the crying Vim zealot, tears streaming down their face while screaming about efficiency and how Electron is bloated. And somewhere in the shadows, VSCodium users silently judge everyone while using essentially the same editor but without Microsoft's telemetry. The irony is delicious.
