Discoverability (/r/neovim or other sites) is a big part. If 100 different people have their own git flows and write their own plugins to adapt, at least a few might resonate with me and improve my workflows. Usually glancing through the Readme is enough to see if worth trying.

Outside of my personal-notes taking setup I haven't written my own plugins much but I've tried tons of options, many of which have greatly improved my workflows. Some people use the term PDE (personal dev environment) as opposed to IDE. Enjoying tinkering with things is a big part.

Peak liberal ”resistance”. Spread around a picture calling Trump triumphant... wow got him! A few people laugh at his hair and much more people who weren't even aware of this cover now see he's "the leader Israel needs".

"Full line completion" `i_<C-X><C-L>` is very useful to repeat lines like console.logs. All my notes are in Nvim and I find ad-hoc uses for this constantly.
I map all completions to <tab> (so `i_<tab>l`) in insert mode because I've never wanted to type a tab on purpose.

Splits resize when window size changes. Useful because I often have multiple splits alongside tmux panes (logs, test runner, etc) and resize those if they need more focus:
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('VimResized', {
command = 'wincmd =',
})
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('VimResized', {
command = 'wincmd =',
})

Other platforms are used too, like bitbucket, which doesn't let you configure this.

Writers should own up to this instead of pretending there's "nothing they can do". They throw up their name and credibility in exchange for someone else making up whatever headline fits their agenda. The headline will get 10000x the views as the author's actual text.

With Facebook and the like dropping $100s of million in salaries (apparently), I wonder how many tech influencers finding success have extra $reason$ to do so.

I won't say Neovim is easy to get started in, but it's easier than it's ever been.
