Sharpening My Tools: Learning More Bash and Vim

I’ve been having way too much fun, sharpening my tools. For too long, I’ve been sitting idly by, being okay with my level of knowledge in a lot of the tools I use on a daily basis, but no more.

In the past two (threeish, since I don’t really know where time goes anymore) days, I’ve been diving deeper and deeper into Terminal.app (which, by default, is running some weird mac version of bash, more on this later) and my editor of choice, vim. I do like having my vim windows separate from the terminal window, so I use MacVim from time to time.

And that’s really all I’m going to say on the subject, for now. I’m finally going back to making extremely neat and concise notes to myself in this process, almost akin to the anal-retentive days of note keeping days in high school. Basically, throwing away the need for so much metadata on what was learned at what second, but instead, opting to just learn whatever I need to learn.

After all, trying to kill two birds (building/learning and teaching/sharing) with one stone is fairly difficult. I fear I’ve been failing at trying to kill a single bird to begin with.
