Never had reasons good enough to configure vim for coding, haha
But when I go to visit @k00b in Austin, I want to SSH into my desktop machine at home since it's more powerful. I think then it will be very useful when I can code completely in vim.
VSCode has remote development over SSH, but I think a really good vim setup will be better for remote development.

I use a 9 year old laptop when I do my SN work, it definitely bogs down hard at times. I’m just too cheap and lazy to buy a new machine

I like to find good quality used thinkpads, the T series was really well made back in the day :)
Hey, me too haha
I have a T420, a T420s, X220 and bought my girlfriend a T430 to her birthday. She's also into Thinkpads :)
Proof of Thinkpads:
🤩
Honestly, coding on a NixOS powered ThinkPad with vim and tmux is pure bliss.
You feel in total control 😎

Im going to btc++ in October, it's all about NixOS afaik
Looking forward to learn if NixOS is really that great as I hear from some people.
When people are really enthusiastic about something, I get very skeptical for some reason, lol
I think it's a "It can be this good, right? Right?" feeling
😂

how much more power do you need for dev work though, that you would need to ssh into a machine and not be able to do what you need to do on a semi-modern laptop?
The machine at home is really good, so it would be a waste to not use it.
And coding on SN in development mode for hot reload, browsing SN, a lot of tabs open + whatever else I am doing seems to eat up a lot of RAM. As you can see in the upper right corner of the video, I am already at 15GB RAM, so this laptop would need 32GB RAM.
I also don't like how hot laptops can get under load. Doesn't feel sustainable. My PC is constantly at 30°C-40°C

most modern laptop don't allow you to update the RAM yourself anymore I thought
Unlike the Thinkpad T series :)
