    note: this video is entirely satirical, like i dont actually believe vim is a scam or split keebs or code performance. obviously this is NOT a video where i go through the nuanced takes of programming and understanding the utility of a technology/concept in context to your problem. this video is a joke

I literally worked for a company where I had to refactor code in order to make it more readable and make production issues easier to repair. And yes I followed clean code (maybe I had longer methods than 4-6 lines) but as a result production issues were easier to follow. If you defy principles it is only because you are too lazy to read. Of course, some principles in clean code are outdated but since then there are more principles that were built that it is good to know. My recommendation -> stop watching youtube videos in believe that you can learn complex things from short videos.

    10 years in big tech, had startup before. My experience:
    - functions are good

    - avoid interfaces
    - avoid layering
    - avoid over abstraction
    - avoid runtime dependency injection
    - avoid micro services

Besides the possible states of an object gets out of hand and makes automated testing very difficult. In my recent implementations I went for json/proto based state storage and only functions for everything else (I code mostly C++ and Typescript, weird combo indeed :) and it works quite well. Besides I am not a "pure function" zealot. Just moving repeated code into a method makes things more manageable.

    There are plenty of instances when performance(and memory consumption) matters.
    Often in such instances the program becomes unusable, if it's not fast enough, or takes up too much memory.
    There's just different levels of performance awareness. And any debate about performance without specifics is meaningless.
    And if you're doing something where performance doesn't matter at all, you're probably doing something shitty.

    Frontend is a nightmare in modern era, especially when they demand you make complex interactive widgets, games, 3d, webgl, wasm. It's a nightmare, it's at this point you're supposed to tell the client you're busy as an excuse because it's a big rabbit hole task & time that would go wasted which you could be using on serving other clients. Backend just need to fetch data, store it & that's it in some normal cases.

      @@YTChannel344 they are called frameworks and engines to abstract you the difficult parts like 3d animation and physics. I pointed that out because you said its difficult to make widgets, games,3d, webgl and wasm in front-end. The way you do animations, widgets is to use existing engines and frameworks to do the hard part of the job, you dont need to write your own unless those engines and framework can't do what you want. I think handling change requirements is not really that difficult if you had communicated it from the start. But you getting ditched by your clients is part of the game, you just need to get experienced on it.

    I tried vim just cuz of the word of mouth, didnt like it, and quit.
    Something interesting is that months later i honestly got fed up with arbritary unmemorable IDE shortcuts which i often had to make myself, only to always forget and slowly backspace stuff away or move with control and arrow keys to the end and start of lines. I think the whole productivity thing is ridiculous. We spend more time thinking about and reading code than writing code, especially earlier on in our journeys. I really dont see how deleting a line slightly faster will have any meaningful impact in the long term. But the thing i hated is when i had an idea so clearly in my head and i had to slowly type it out or edit it in, tapping the arrow keys repeatedly one at a time and then moving back to home row and then back to arrow keys. It doesnt matter, but i didnt like it. Most of the time coding is spent thinking, but when i do have a small idea for certain in mind i just find it so flow breaking to take so long to modify the code to make it work.
    Watching more varied videos from the more varied sphere, ranging from C89 boomers to game devs goes to show that it doesnt matter what you use as long as you know how to use it. I think of it moreso as a hobby and something i do and learn for fun. I enjoy the simplicity compared to all the other IDEs and editors which take up half the screen with so much noisy UI and project trees and error logs. I also like how it makes me learn the deeper level stuff like how to use the terminal and to understand what goes on when i click that play button in Visual Studio.
    I know the video is mostly a joke but i really wanna get this out of my system because i dont wanna seem be one of the stereotypical hipsters. I do hate how hard it is to get it up and running, so i see myself eventually switching to other editors which take care of compilation and managing projects with more files, but i think its fun and i think it helps me build more confidence in programming and computers in general.
    Anyways, love the video bigbox, but maybe chill out a bit, though i cant speak for everyone in terms of how its going.

      Raw vim is insanity for most tasks. But a beefier customized neovim gets pretty strong. May not be a replacement for an IDE, especially not a specialized one, at least without that barrier of entry with configuration, but it remains strong for text editing. Nothing stopping someone from coding in Neovim and taking advantage of an IDE to compile a massive tech stack as i had to do recently with my training. I was surprised how underwhelming some IDEs are for text editing out of the box.
      I frankly dont understand why people are so polarized on such a personal topic like text editor. Ive read blogs about people experimenting with coding without syntax highlighting or inline errors because they find those distracting. Its crazy, and they did say they do turn errors on sparringly, but if they like it or wanna try it out, let em be.

This part of the internet (memey videos about CS/software jobs) seems to repeat the same things over and over again and are happy to join eachother repeating the same things, rather than being interested in the tech. Someone hears about layoffs, going to uni, this is bad, this is bad. It is all irrelevant to individual people. Software and tech is a very interesting part of the world and these types of videos just try to get views by playing up some neurotic repeated narratives without any depth, with the guise that it is a "meme". This video really does not reflect reality and is just depressing on purpose :(
      I think noone should watch these videos. Software engineers would find them shallow, and people wanting to learn will be scared away. I think it is good to just keep learning and it will help you to stand out from the people who became obsessed with hesitating about what to do because they follow "software industry news" on youtube.

    ok, so seriously talking for a sec: as an arch and neovim user and professional developer: yeah, vim/nvim is not gonna make anyone more efficient - but it is just so freaking fun to work with. Not everyone will agree, and that's totally fine! Whatever rocks your boat. But to me, personally, I just love the fact that I can have a keyboard-only fast IDE that doubles as my terminal and triples as a general-purpose text editor. I can write and debug c/c++ code with it, I can write python scripts, etc. - and I can do all my usual shell stuff... plus also writing normal raw text when I need. And it's all configured to my liking. I understand people who don't want it, and I def hate the "I'm better than you 'cause I use vi/vim/nvim" approach. I just... really enjoy using it. Same goes for arch: I have a minimal OS which does what I want and is always updated. I didn't need to work too hard to get it (compared to, say, LFS or gentoo), but it's also very versatile and properly optimized. Throw in i3 or whatever other tiling WM, and all the clatter which drives my ADHD crazy is just gone. No unnecessary GUIs, no need for the mouse. It's heaven for my stupid brain which can't deal with too many things at the same time. I don't expect others to share this concept, as I hope they accept my "weirdness" for the computers I use.
