HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE SHARPEN OUR TOOLS?

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Tool sharpening refers to the process of improving or upgrading the tools and software one uses for work. This author shares a personal experience of transitioning from one text editor (NEdit) to another (Vim) and later to Neovim, highlighting the considerations, challenges, and benefits of such transitions. As engineers, there is a cost of time and effort in adopting new tools. At the same time, it’s important to periodically reevaluate tool choices and configurations to ensure they enable one to be as productive as possible.
