I am a life long nerd who seems to be perpetually chasing the next bright shiny thing :) I will always be puttering with technology whether I’m paid for it or not :)

I love spending time with my wife and our rescue pup, playing with old computers, reading, and playing video games.

  • That’s not just understandable but how could it be any other way?

    Heck just Vim itself is layer upon layer of powerful functionality. Now layer in the immense potential of Neovim’s Lua based plugin ecosystem and client/server architecture? 🤯

    Give yourself the time to learn. Focus on just the things you need to get the task you’re doing RIGHT NOW done, then focus later on things that can level up your knowledge and productivity.

    I’ve been thinking about making Neovim tutorial videos for Youtube. If I did, what kinds of things would be useful to you?


  • Hi!

    kickstart.nvim maintainer here, please don’t follow the advice given in the video to just dump init.lua into place.

    Please follow the instructions in the README for the repo and git clone it into your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead.

    If you just copy pasta init.lua things will break. This is a result of converting Kickstart to lazy.nvim



  • I appreciate your honesty about the README!

    You say it didn’t make sense, was it:

    1. Too long so you felt overwhelmed and stopped?
    2. Too complicated in some way? Which bit caused you to stall out?

    I feel like we need to do better here, but also I’m not a writer myself so I could definitely use all the specific feedback we can get.

    Please feel free to file bugs, even if it’s “I don’t understand what <$tech_phrase> means” or similar. I’ll action ever single one of them :)
