IMHO, it’s a horrible hack that is just broken. It’s obscure and we need to rewrite it because it has a bad structure. XCquit[ESC][ESC]C

I’m one of those people who think that Perl is a write-only language
-Linus torvaldsThe best way I know to quit vi is by turning off your computer
Why would you quit vim?
Because you meant to open ed: the standard text editor.
To open nano of course
*emacs
I wanted to open neovim of course. And my alias did not work
you can also accomplish that by turning off city’s electrical grid
Takes too long for the UPS to run down…
i see you’re operating at datacenter scale
This is the way.
The first phrase spoken when opening a new project, be it yours or someone elses… “What the fuck…”
What fucking idiot wrote this? Looking at your own code from 6 months ago
"I can read this Perl scrip"t should translate to “I’m lying”.
I’m absolutely guilty of self-documenting code, but mostly because I’m sick of everyone else’s lying comments.
“The reason I use Perl is because I wanna write scripts that no one can read and no one can understand so that I can keep my job”
ESC +
:q!ESC to enter normal mode (if you’re in a different mode like insert) : (colon) to enter commands q to quit ! (or a) to use the quit command withiut keeping any changes
He’s speaking the language of the gods…
ESC + (shift) ZZ is faster and also saves your changes!
good to know :3
I’m basically a god at work cause I knew this already, but never explained the pain I went through to get here.
Hey, now. It is possible to write readable Perl code—it’s just less interesting that way. 😜
I can’t read this perl script may also apply to something you wrote last week.
IMHO it’s a complex, temporary work around with a few issues.
Also vim > emacs
i use nano and i will die on this hill
Nano is the only one I know how to use lol (assuming we’re talking about in-terminal text editors)
And i have used it exclusively for editing Minecraft and KSP server config files
Im definitely a programmer :P
The Perl one has got me:)
Sometimes I like to pack the most functionality into a single, hard to read one-liner, just for fun. In review I’ll admit “it’s a little bit abstruse”.
Of course, the correct way to quit Vi is
^Zpkill vi.Lol I’ve done this before!
Emacs babyyyy
Good reference with lots of truth. Maybe, I should print it before having a meeting with other tech teams.
