    vi is bloat. What’s wrong with using cat and echo?

      You’re thinking like a developer. “I can just add or remove this or that.” I have to think like an IT guy. I’m working on dozens or hundreds of machines that are not mine and that I can’t change. So I need to get comfy with the tools that are most likely to be there by default.

        It’s a joke. I’m also an IT guy, so I’m comfortable with vi.
        Although I use nano at home so I don’t have to think.

          Ah ok. whoosh I guess. I’m used to hearing “just write the drivers yourself” and the like.

      vi is bloat. Back in my day we used ed. And we were happy with it.

      Cat and echo are bloat. What’s wrong with programming the microchips each time you want to change a byte?
