    Programming is not about typing it is about thinking and problem solving.

    Thinking is treated as a first class citizen.

    The smartest developers I know are the ones who change or delete code, not
    the ones who add more.

    Vim doesn't do things for you, it gives you surgical control over your code.

    Vim works close to the metal, works equally well from the terminal or GUI.

    Keep calm and make changes in production

    Learning Vim takes time - a long time

    Don't try and learn if you're in a hurry modifying production
    configurations during an outage is not the best time to learn a few
    new commands.

    Learn a few commands at a time

    :q! Is always a good start. :e! Is another.

    Then a few inserts and appends.

    Understand copying and pasting

    Using registers to stash and paste things

    Configure your editor.

    Enjoy
