    Usually if you’re involved in something that is genuinely urgent, it doesn’t even need to be said. I remember being in a situation where a server wasn’t starting back up after some changes while we were in the data centre, and if it didn’t come online by the time we left the office, one of the largest pay as you go networks in the UK would have gone down lol. If a PM had approached us with something ‘urgent’ during this they’d have to run away from projectile rack mounts…

    Ha, I’m aware it was stating the obvious, but I never found vim difficult in the beginning either. I was given a “linux cheat sheet” and then told to bugger off and do stuff… vim took maybe 15-20 mins before I was comfortable.

    The hardest part was learning how my company’s ancient software worked honestly, which even after six years there was still intimidating and baffling at times.

    I’ve used vim for so many years now that it blows my mind when people act like it’s difficult to use.

    The same thing with installing Arch and even Gentoo … if you’ve got good experience with something like redhat/centos and can read documentation it’s a breeze.
