So I bought a nitrokey... And ended up in the middle of another Archlinux ricing session.

Do you pay attention to the signals your technical interview questions may give?

Adam Procio — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:21:35 GMT

Couldn't sleep tonight, after having some particularly bad technical interview a couple days ago which I can't stop thinking about...

Thinking about it - not necessarily because I had trouble with a couple of technical questions - it has more to do with what questions were asked that bothers me. You may or may not choose to believe me.

my switch from vim to neovim

Adam Procio — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 12:27:23 GMT

Last month I decided to bite the bullet and switch from Vim to Neovim on my daily-driver. The process was relatively painless, but I have one gripe to share with you, a reader considering to do the same.

I've been inspired to start writing this post thanks to this discussion under Most Salvadorans have already ditched their national Bitcoin wallets. You may notice the HN post is a few days old, that's because I've postponed posting due to fear of looking stupid.

I may come back to this topic in the future.

There were also other reasons...
