Neovim VS Vim Adventures

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now. - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack.

I think it only took me a couple days. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

That’s a good question. The built in tutorial is actually really good, you can launch it with “vimtutor” on the command line. It doesn’t give you everything, but its instructions and text to try things out on in the editor itself, which I find a good way to learn. It isn’t particularly programming focused either.

Very cool! As an aside, I've learned so many things via games like this. Including vim (via https://vim-adventures.com/), which I now basically can't live without. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
