    Project mention: Every Developer Should Try Vim | dev.to | 2025-06-19

    The switch was hard at first, especially file management. I was so used to the file tree on the left of my editor. I tried to replicate that in Neovim with nvim-tree but it didn’t feel the same. Until I came across oil.nvim, this was a game changer for me as it made creating, renaming and moving so much easier. That was the moment that I felt I could switch. I had tried a few of the popular Neovim distros such as Lunarvim but found them too overwhelming. I personally prefer a basic setup with not too many bells and whistles (I know, I used JetBrains before but only used 10% of that editor’s capacity and had a minimal interface configured).

    Project mention: Nix Flake Templates | dev.to | 2025-05-05

    On the other hand, I also tried simpler solutions such as gists or snippets (1, 2) which I can use as starting points for my projects despite being not convenient for re-use and pretty much unmaintainable due to lack of clear structure.
