How makers stay productive

vim is love <3 Once you gotten used to it, it is really painful to write anywhere without vim controls

Got it!

Used to use emacs (spacemacs) and forgot. Now trying out vim with vimtutor. It's… difficult. Any tips

What I used to do was to write down a few commands on a piece of paper that I wanted to learn, had it next to the screen. Then everytime I had learnt the command I removed it from the list and added a new command.
