I am proud of my career, but these individuals are complete HEROs. This is a deeply person list, and this exercise is my way of saying thank-you by trying to formalise their impact on my life over the years.

I really enjoy the vim-style editor experiance. vi/vim/nvim/neovim nuggets, mappings, scripts, plugins that I find useful and use on a day-2-day basis. 80% neovim, 10% ideavim, 5% vsvim...

The BBC Micro Model B is special to me as it was one of my first computers. After 25 years, I recently re-purchased one.
My gateway drug was a BBC Micro Model B, a ZX Spectrum and a nameless CPM ten-tonne monster. So as young kid, without knowing what a computer really was, I taught myself.

As I grew-up, so did the computer industry; information-technology went from the periphery of society to the pervasive center of modern life.
