[Interviewer ]Mr. 7bit, it would be quite interesting if you would have some moments to share with us,
in the forum space, between updating your scripts ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00. How are you running these group buys? What's the secret behind the 7bot script?
What are the juicy bits behind your (semi-)automated script?
01. What is your favourite editor?
10. Why do you have a passion for keyboards, and what's with that Hyper7 kit?

TY

Negative time to that moment, it seems:

Reminds me of this old saying:
There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Be glad he didn't count in octal.

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't run them, they run by themselves.
There is no secret behind 7bot, it is in front of it.

Guess!

The Hyper7 kit is the kit for the upcoming Hyper7 keyboard, which will revolutionize code and data entry!

I had a feeling you'll chime in!
So, the secret is frontal ,you like e-Mags, and
you wanna have a key for everything

Oh dear... Okay, I see your point now.
I wonder if Visual Studio has a syntax highlighter for bash scripts! (Urgh I'll regret saying that)

The prefference of an editor highly depends on the language you are writing in, for me as a Java developer Eclipse is a dream to use. I think you are a little bit hard to it

Of course! It's all in jest.

To be hones, editors like VI are more of a nightmare for me than eclipse, I like to actually be productive instead of learning the editor
Why do you think it is a nightmare?

by scottc
I had to run Eclipse on an Atom netbook for quite some time. I think it's safe to call that a nightmare.

Just chiming in:
I love visual studio or similar for coding at work, but vim is wonderful for the text processing tasks I find myself faced with all the time. Some love for both!

Well okay, on an Atom notebook eclipse is a bit too much. I can imagine that you can barely see any code between all the window elements.

That's where
eclim is awesome.

Hmmm, I'm currently using / contributing to
Vrapper though, and while it's far from finished, it does make one feel more at home. Maybe I should try Eclim though...

It had been eclipsed by the "Classical learning curves for some common editors"-field.

Nice charts 7bit

For what I need to do, nano is sufficient.

As I understand, VI only requires one key:
