Yesterday, i had to use neovim for a task on my friend's laptop. There was no WiFi and I couldn't install Emacs. This guy uses Vim a lot. He recently moved to neovim from vim. He had some Ruby codes going. I had to debug some codes(performance issues). I was reluctant to work on it but i had to. After looking at some keybindings and the plugins that guy had written, using vim was pleasure. It was fast. I could shoot up multiple terminals work on that and was instant. I wrote some plugins to indent my code which worked as it's supposed to. I used spacemacs(as it's configured properly) Emacs but there is some load time on spacemacs and there are some issues shooting up multiple spacemacs on terminals. I had just configured and started using prelude which is beautiful Emacs configuration and is fast.
After using neovim that day something hit me that i had blindly had faith in Emacs without using Vim and i use Emacs only for text editing task and terminal. I don't use it for listening music, browser and other task i can always use modern browsers and Spotify for that. Modern browsers and music players are amazing and using those in Emacs there is always a lack of functionality and UI.(modern people don't use those i think and some Emacs users i know use stripped down version of Emacs i.e. microemacs or XEmacs.
I know vi is present by default on every Linux distribution. That keybindings are same as vim and it can be configured so, it is useful for embedded devices and system architecture. I love terminals and love working on tty. That's why i guess i felt instantly tempted to keep on using vim and i loved it's performance. I checked on evil layer before but there are some issues with evil layer in Emacs like it isn't too efficient like vim. I love lisp though and clojure can be edited nicely in Vim.
Is this sin against the church of Emacs? Should i join vi vi vi? I have already dedicated my life on Emacs (check my bio). Am i tempted by the devil?4 -
I’ve tried to think about it and all I can come up with is that I think my biggest insecurities are my procrastination and lack of faith in my abilities to get and keep a job as a dev.

After years of working at a place where you are as good it gets in terms of domain knowledge, it can be refreshing to work with someone who has way more experience than you.
The previous company I was with wanted to have me as one of their primary engineers, and everyone else who came in would have to learn from me (most of them were low-skilled contractors). This should have been great in theory, but it was actually quite frustrating since I did not relish being the mentor figure while just being two years into my career. Despite it getting to my head at times, I was aware that I still lack a lot of skills, but with no one to teach me, I hardly progressed in terms of growth, even though the leadership treated me well and listened to me.
Took a leap of faith and quit, to join a start-up where I would be the most inexperienced (and the youngest) person. Has been a few months, and I have stumbled and goofed up more times than I like to admit, but taken with the right mindset, it is nice to see how a team of professionals goes about it. It is a learning curve to get back into the mindset of the novice (after more than a year of being the undisputed "go-to" person), and to make effort knowing that you'll fall short in multiple places by the standards here, but at the same time, it's nowhere like the frustration I felt previously when my head was pushing against the shallow ceiling.
Fun part is, the learning is almost not at all about the code, but about how to be a proactive team member and all the things to think through and finalize BEFORE getting down to code. Some of it is bureaucracy, yes, but given the chaotic place I come from, I don't really mind it as long as it only goes as far as what is required.
The most amusing part of it all to me is how I try to be humble and listen to people (everyone's got a lot more experience than me), but I'm often asked to be critical of what others say and poke holes instead of just taking what they say at face value, which has been one of the most challenging things to adapt to for me (for similar organisation cultural reasons mentioned previously)/1 -
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has revolutionized the financial landscape but has also attracted fraudulent schemes targeting unsuspecting investors. As the popularity of Bitcoin continues to soar, so do the risks associated with fraudulent investments. Bitcoin fraudulent investments refer to schemes where individuals deceive others into investing in fake or illegitimate projects promising high returns. These scams exploit the trust and lack of regulation in the cryptocurrency space, posing a significant risk to investors. Bitcoin fraudulent investments involve deceitful practices where scammers lure unsuspecting individuals to invest their money in schemes that do not exist or do not deliver on their promises. Such scams can range from Ponzi schemes to fake ICOs, preying on the desire for quick profits in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies. Victims of Bitcoin fraudulent investments not only suffer financial losses but also experience emotional distress and a loss of trust in the cryptocurrency market. Retrieving stolen bitcoin becomes a priority for these individuals to seek justice and recover their assets. Retrieving pilfered bitcoin is a daunting task due to the intricate nature of tracing and identifying stolen funds in the decentralized and pseudonymous blockchain network. Additionally, legal and jurisdictional hurdles further complicate the recovery process, making it challenging for victims to reclaim their stolen assets. The anonymous nature of Bitcoin transactions and the lack of a central authority make it difficult to trace and identify stolen funds. Scammers often use sophisticated methods to obfuscate the flow of stolen Bitcoin, leading to a complex trail that requires expertise to unravel. Bitcoin recovery efforts are hindered by legal and jurisdictional challenges, as scammers operate across borders and exploit loopholes in regulations. Reclaiming stolen bitcoin requires navigating through different legal systems and cooperating with authorities internationally, adding layers of complexity to the retrieval process. Recovering monies taken from victims of bitcoin scams is the area of expertise of reputable company REVENANT CYBER HACKER.
