Use https://kapeli.com/dash on Mac or the open source equivalents on other platforms.

The new C++ Core Guidelines & Guidelines Support Library and related tools are interesting efforts to specifically solve those problems.

The benefit is customization to your needs to make your unique workflow faster. There is a reason people spend tweaking their ".emacs.d" configurations - it just makes them so much faster. For example, I use a light theme in office because I have a glossy monitor and I prefer a dark theme otherwise, so I wrote a few lines of elisp to choose the light/dark theme based on the time of day and day of week. Try doing that in other editors / IDEs / etc. :) Of course, I'm quoting a trivial example here, but this is a glimpse to what is possible.

Reminds me of "Facebook will eat everything with React Native" - https://www.quora.com/What-is-mobile-development-going-to-lo...

Use Pomodoro technique.

I had written about my favorite book on the subject a few years ago - http://www.swaroopch.com/2011/01/17/pomodoro/

From a recent GitLab blog post[1]:

> At first glance, it might not seem obvious for our company to join Y Combinator since we already have 10 employees and hundreds of paying clients. The reason for joining was learning more about how to grow as a company. We were always really focussed on GitLab and of course we never want to lose that. But we want to avoid as many mistakes made by fast growing companies and to learn from the Y Combinator partners that have seen hundreds of organizations growing fast. There are regular events that feature experts in all facets of building a company, from user retention to enterprise sales. And it is great to hear stories from other startups,what they have overcame and how relentlessly resourceful they have been.

Same exact experience here but with a different publisher - I also agreed to be a technical reviewer which I ended up regretting after reading the prose and code.

Actually, I assumed that VimConf was a great marketing strategy for castingcode.tv - am I wrong to think that the product came first and then the conference idea?

There is a chapter on Vim scripting in my online book, please take a look and let me know your feedback - http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Vim_en:Scripting

Regarding the "Plugins howto tutorial" that was requested on the show, I'd like to ask you guys to check out the Plugins chapter of my book and let me know your feedback - http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Vim_en:Plugins

Why not use https://github.com/micahwedemeyer/automongobackup ?

That is probably true for the HN-reading crowd. I was referring to the remainder majority :-)

I just started reading "Web Design for Developers" published by PragProg ( http://pragprog.com/titles/bhgwad/web-design-for-developers ) and would recommend it.

I personally prefer `set scrolloff=999` which ensures the cursor is always in the vertical middle of the screen - this helps me always see the context of the current line.

This reminds me of the "Self-Determination Theory" that Cal Newport emphasizes:

"To be happy, your work must fulfill three universal psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness."
