Way back when I lived in this low-income apartment complex in Wasilla, Alaska — technically I had no income at the time, and it’s ridiculously hard to find a place to live in Alaska in the summer — and spent as much time as I could meditating in the mountains, I created a vi/vim editor video tutorial and put it on YouTube. I just noticed that video has now exceeded 200,000 views. It feels a little weird to think that over 200K people have started to learn vi/vim from that video.
A funny thing about making that video is that the walls in that apartment complex were paper-thin. I could hear everything my neighbors did in their apartments (use your imagination and you won’t be wrong), and they could hear me, so I intentionally tried not to talk too loud in the video. I had to edit the video at several points to crop out some of my neighbors yelling at each other.
