On Infrastructure
-----------------
There is one system, not a collection of systems.
The desired state of the system should be a known quantity.
The "known quantity" must be machine parseable.
The actual state of the system must self-correct to the desired state.
The only authoritative source for the actual state of the system is the system.
The entire system must be deployable using source media and text files.

Vim: pushing built-in features beyond their limits

The situation

Searching can be an efficient way to navigate the current buffer.

The first search commands we learn are usually / and ?. These are seriously cool, especially with the incsearch option enabled which lets us keep typing to refine our search pattern. / and ? really shine when all we want is to jump to something we already have our eyeballs on but they are not fit for every situation:

  • when we want to search something that's not directly there, those two commands can make us lose context very quickly,
  • when we need to compare the matches.
