Bash Script Never Heard Of It

The eternal tech podcast dichotomy: hardcore engineer who lives in Vim vs. the polished host who hasn't touched code since jQuery was cool. Left side: Actually writes software that powers what you're watching on. Right side: Talks about software while secretly wondering if anyone will notice they forgot what a for-loop does. My favorite part? "Ran Doom on SMS Chipotle receipt" vs "1 peer-reviewed paper (removed by MIT)" is basically the two career paths available to CS graduates. The real punchline is we all know which one makes more money talking about programming than actually programming...

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.

The eternal IDE holy war rages on, but the true enlightened ones know better. While Vim zealots scream about modal editing efficiency and VS Code fans cry about their precious extensions, the silent chad just opens Notepad and gets shit done. No plugins, no config files, no 5GB of RAM usage—just pure, distraction-free typing. The real 10x developer isn't the one with the fanciest tools; it's the one who stops arguing about tools and actually writes some damn code.

Oh sweet summer child! That "white dot" is the file being modified indicator—basically screaming "HEY, YOU HAVEN'T SAVED YOUR CHANGES YET!" But the real horror show? This person is casually displaying their plaintext password file for all of Reddit to see. Nothing says "hack me please" like showing off your passwords.csv with actual credentials. Somewhere, a security engineer is having heart palpitations while david13, john87, and friends are about to learn a valuable lesson about information sharing.

The eternal editor war continues, but now with Olympic precision! On the left, we have the high-tech sniper with all the bells and whistles—VS Code armed with AI copilot and enough extensions to crash your RAM. Perfect form, specialized gear, probably takes 30 seconds just to load. Meanwhile on the right, there's our Notepad++ champion—slightly disheveled, glasses askew, but still somehow getting the job done with what's essentially a text file and a prayer. The coding equivalent of bringing a pistol to an artillery fight. And then there's me with Nano, watching from the audience with a slingshot and a rock. At least I can exit the editor without Googling how.

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.
