Sorry I couldn't hear you through the nvim startup time and keyboard noises while you are waiting for your IDE to start

Who restarts their IDE all the time?

I take more than that to fetch a coffee down the kitchen area.

  • Depends which IDE. IntelliJ stays open permanently. When I used full-fat visual studio it would crash so often that I’d have developed an even worse caffeine problem had I fetched coffee every time it needed restarting.

  • Is this the reason why people say that 8gb is not enough for writing some code?

    • Nah, Electron is the reason, my first real IDEs were the whole suite of Borland IDEs for MS-DOS and Windows 3.x.

Neovim just gets in the way. I observe the machine code directly through my sacred bond with the machine spirit. And the holy mechanical tentacles connected to my visual cortex.
