zed.dev/ looks really interesting. I love that “at the speed of thought” strap line. Haven’t I seen that somewhere before?

I can really recommend this course. A bunch of us developers at @finkoslo had an inspiring time with Drew a couple of months ago. Great fun as well. It works perfectly as an online session.

The next cohort of the Code Quality Challenge starts in one week (Feb 1st). Each day, we complete a small exercise to make our codebases 1% better than the day before. It's free, language agnostic, and fun! People like it. (Retweets appreciated!) tuple.app/code-quality-chall…

Tuple: the best remote pair programming app on macOS and Windows

Built from the ground up to deliver razor sharp screen sharing, crisp audio, and seamless remote control. Because programmers deserve better than a generic screen sharing tool.

#vim ers of the world - prepare to have your mind blown: If you want to include the current character in a backward deletion motion (say to the previous "x") use `dvTx` (instead of `dTx`)

I've been spending more and more time on YouTube lately. Mostly watching music videos. So much good stuff on there! If I was to start Vimcasts today, I'd probably go straight to publishing on YouTube.

I'm aware that there's probably lots of good programming-related content on YouTube too, but I haven't explored that side so much. Does anyone here have any recommendations?

I’m considering putting the whole catalogue of @vimcasts on YouTube. Are there any reasons why I should hesitate?

I'm starting to think of archival. I currently host the videos on Digital Ocean, which I'm happy to continue doing. But there will come a day when I have to let that server go, and I'd prefer to know the videos will live on somewhere.

Also, @vimcasts could reach a whole new audience on YouTube. Some of those videos are out of date, but a lot of them are evergreen.

Yikes, I haven’t tweeted much lately have I? I’m still here! How are you?

Got a message today from my brother in Edinburgh. Someone mistook him for me. Picture the scene: "Um, do I know you?" "Drew!" "Ah!" the penny drops.
