Bram created vim which is a terminal-based text editor so good that it comes preinstalled on every Mac and nearly every server. I use it everyday.

I’m catching up on MacStories’s “iPad at 10” coverage from last month.
I keep coming across mentions of the original argument that the iPad is “just a bigger iPhone”. I always find that argument to be so strange, because the iPhone was a blockbuster category-defining device. I have never thought of the fact that an iPad is similar to a large iPhone as negative in any way. I also appreciate viewpoints like this one focused on accessibility that make it obvious that being like a bigger iPhone is an incredible advantage.
It’s funny how aggressively people in the tech media will dismiss something just because it’s not completely novel.
Anyway, 10 years later, I have finally gotten to the point where I don’t own a laptop and use an iPad for all my mobile computing tasks.

Been having fun the last couple days working on some Rails jobs that download multi-gigabyte gzipped tarballs via SFTP.
It’s been a fun challenge to avoid using a lot of RAM and disk space so that the jobs can easily run on our Heroku workers.

Had a great time at the IndieWeb meetup tonight here in Austin. Met some new folks, and recognized a couple people from many years back.
