Alright, have an upvote 👍

But… If you wrote the boss (or even just portions of it), then defeat the kernel boss you partly wrote, isn’t that like cheating?

I typed :q and it just says :q on the bottom, all this advice and I’m still stuck in vim. My electricity bill has been high since 2022 because of this heavy editor with no x button

People who have never had the pleasure of experiencing vim might not realize that the colon is a part of the command and will start recording a macro instead.
