But then I also look at VIM and want to vomit my bowels out.

The best was when I got promoted out of help desk, and for the following year would get regular emails from recruiting asking me if I wanted this amazing job opportunity back on the help desk.

vi is so ingrained in my muscle memory I can't use anything else in a cli environment. But I've also been using/managing *nix for more than 20 years.

Oh, to be that young. In teaching Puppet stuff to other members of my org, I have shown them how to do things in VS Code, which has nice Puppet integrations, but I find that I'm just more fluent with vim, and also that things seem to go a lot faster without the VS Code layer between me, my files, and git.

My favorite Recruiter Experience is jobs in LA when I live north of SF. It's always, invariably, from some company I've never provided my information to, with the recruiter asking for my most recent MS WORD copy of resume, and also am I a US citizen? Please revert if interested. Extra points for stuff that's not even related to my experience or education.

Yes, I would love to move 2000 miles to one of the most expensive cities in the country for a 3-month contract. My favorite recently was someone offering me a sales engineer (what) position in Butte, Montana (WHAT), with the added bonus of, "You'll get to be on the road 6 months out of the year, and there's commissions!" The base salary is not just less than I make now, but would be an unfavorable pay cut when adjusted for the cost of living in that part of MT (and that's not even getting into the hilarity of voluntarily moving back to Butte). Plus BTM is such a poo poo-tier airport that it shuts down at night, so lol at traveling extensively with that as a homebase. You couldn't put together a more perfect set of anti-requirements for me if you tried. This wasn't even a recruiting form letter, this was someone who specifically wrote to me directly as if they imagined, "I know exactly what this person's dream job is, and I'm about to offer it to them.  " I have to wonder if we have a friend in common who put them up to it as a joke.

I got one offer for a RHEL engineer in Honolulu Hawaii for 90 days, I live in Washington DC, telecommute not allowed. I didn't read any further than that because lmao at getting a RHEL engineer to uproot for 90 days for less than a 6 figure consultation fee, because at that point when you're talking a 90 day contract length it's because you've somehow hosed something up and need an engineer to help fix it, and you're going to pay what the engineer wants you to pay. I am not a RHEL engineer either, I don't know how they got the idea that I might be.

I work in a secure environment... One of the risk mitigations to our desktops is essentially 'we are in a secure environment, aint no way someone is going to steal the device' There are a handful of desktops located in a building outside the secure perimeter - we encrypt them AND Kensington lock them to the desk to mitigate the risk of theft. It's mad but whatever, every time I order a laptop, they send me a lock so I have plenty anyway, I stopped caring.

The Sanders van Vugt RHCSA/RHCE book recommends knowing at least the basics of vi/vim because it's the only thing that's guaranteed to be included on every single distribution out there. That sounded reasonable to me, and frankly if you just need nano/pico level functionality it's only like 3-4 things you have to know. I find a few other things handy as well, like quick line deletion. vim also includes syntax highlighting out of the box, which is nice. By all means, use whatever you like, but IMO knowing how to get around in vim is useful. I would have concerns about a regular Linux user who couldn't use it at all.

Back at the ad agency, my boss took his sweet loving time over a directive to get locks for all the laptops. So when he finally put the order in with Kensington there apparently "wasn't enough time" to get a batch made with a master lock, so that just added several dozen more pairs of keys to the completely disordered collection I had inherited. For years I was able to kill a slow afternoon by trying to pair up the remaining odd keys with their locks and/or matching key. It's really amazing how much a completely rear end in a top hat can be made worse when they're also really loving stupid.

It's way easier to just add a Vim plugin to any other IDE editor, tbh. yeah, there's a few languages where people did the effort to make vim a full ide, but you need to load a ton of plugins for it to work well, so just use your favourite IDE with vim plugin instead. i've used a couple ides over the last decade and i don't remember any that didn't just ship with a "vim mode" tbh, now that i think about it.

I informed the school before I left that there were a few accounts that had 2FA set up that I could not transfer ownership for until there was another TC set up and ready to take on the responsibility (Apple education is a huge pile of poo poo). There always has to be an owner and you can't transfer ownership to service accounts or an empty chair. I honestly can't remember my logic behind it now. I was just ready to gtfo and I thought of exactly no alternative solutions. Whatever. Point being, they were told that when they finally hired someone, to have them call me so we could work out account ownership transfer. For a month now, I just get 2FA alerts for these accounts sent to me in short bursts every couple of days. No one ever calls. I just get the the notifications. I wonder if he knows to call me. I wonder if he's just silently freaking out that he can't get access to these accounts. How is he this incompetent? Eeeehhhhhhhhhhh uhhh oh ehhh mmmm
