🌊There must be an easier way to do this
Khem Raj September 11, 2025 #metaI have used several editors, but there always have been one to fall back to, changing this fall back editor is a monumental change. I started with Emacs in school days and then switched to Vim when I started to do embedded Linux at work, because vi was always there on those tiny boards one would ssh into, now I am in transition to using Helix editor. These 3 changes have been a sea change in my code editing world.
I think these changes have been possible because there was a thought that would always come "there must be an easier way to do this" whenever, I accomplished some uncanny looking editing task. Despite its side effects e.g. time sink, it has propelled me to learn new things.
