In my experience most IDEs turn working remotely into a headache. And the vim most of my coworkers use is perfectly capable of doing the things you've described better than most IDEs. Of course it's not vanilla out-of-the-box vim, but that's still my goto tool for operating remotely through ssh, just makes things easy. And many of the best IDEs I've seen are, in fact, vim-based, and you would need to know how to use vim to do much with them.

But personally I think as long as your editing tool is capable of doing what you need it to, its a relatively unimportant part of your career.

No, it's really not a problem with good IDE's. They all work with SSH or over mapped disk just fine. And yes, all good IDE's have vim functionality embedded, which already defies your point.

And for an example, I will test you how I tested my colleague a year ago (I dont deny this functionality not in vim, I just dont know).

I need to quickly open file called RemoteUserController.php in my IDE.
In my phpstorm I do Ctrl+Shift+R then type RUC then enter and then I am in that file.
Does vim have that capability?

Do you people agree with the long, pretty specific list of things? o_O Just wondering, as I have little experience relative to many people here.

For an CS evangelist, probably, for practical programming this list is godawful.

Also some points is ridiculous, like this bit about emacs/vim against IDE. You know, most mundane tasks is tens times faster in IDE than in vim, whatever this ridiculous purist jerks tell you.

Also, what is your point? You can't become high paid evangelist, like Fowler or such from a scratch, so make you career as a fellow coder first.

From my perspective (senior programmer for 8+ years, web) to be a succesfull member of any software team you need, from top to bottom

- Get a communicative skills. This is the most important part - nobody likes to work with a jerk. You can be aspergery but you can't be an ass.  I've seen multiple guys laid off that way, and they was very capable coders, amazing, some of them. Team microclimate is the most important thing.
- Get the difference between functional and procedural programming and choose your future area of expertise. It's very distinctive fields and choose what you like more. You know, haskell and scala is used in very different areas than PHP and python.
- Decide what you like more - waterfall model or a agile. Again, that very important what workflow you prefer most. Difference is huge.
- Learn your main language thoroughly. I can't stress that enough, your language is your main tool - you need to know all the quirks and pitfalls of it. You need to know several languages, or atleast being capable to read it with understanding, but you absolutely need to champion your thing - that's the way you earn your senoir title and getting money for it. On my job I write on PHP, perl, python, js(jQuery, coffee, underscore) but I defenitely spend most of my time perfecting PHP, because thats how I earn my paycheck. Nobody needs jacks of all trade, masters of none.
- If you work with databases - learn differences between RDBMS and nosql, learn main dogs in these areas and learn your company database thoroughly, all the way up to optimization and profiling.
- Your job specifics. I can't tell anything about software development, but I can spend hours discussing highload matters, know your tools, everything about caching and replication and sharding and many other words related.

Your problem is not caffeine, or in other words - caffeine is not a problem at all. But amount of sugar you take is ridiculous. Sugar is ten times more sinister here. Constant high insuline levels, huge calorie intake, diabetes, yada yada.

I don't mind caffeine at all, I usualy drink 2-3 big cups of black coffee at work, every day, no sugar, no cream. Bad taste? I dunno. For me cup of freshly milled and brewed coffee is delicious. Yes it's bitter, but it's good bitter. It's GREAT bitter. And aroma... You will get used to it. And then you will love it. And it's alot healthier than soda. Another alternative - tea. Some people prefer tea, some coffee. It's like dogs vs cats. But soda? Cmon, its tastes awful.

Cut sugar intake at all, I mean no sweets, no cakes, only "slow" carbs like pasta and even a small thought about sweet soda will make you feel ill.

And plain water indeed have a flavour. It's various naturally occurring minerals or lack of thereof which makes it tasty or not.

Looks like a Starsector for me. Is it better in any ways?

Facts:
1. Putin is very pro about chechens is good and very against any stains between Chechnya and Russia. He literally wants war was forgotten
2. Russians hates chechen and dagestani, because they are .. evil? I dont want to flame here really, but that just plain truth on so many  many levels I dont want to continue.
3. Putin is superior

which makes this kind of a plot is highly unlikely.

My personal trollish spin: the question you should be asking yourself is, "why did I ever try WoW in the first place?"

;-)

It was unique novelty when it hit beta, absolute smashing hit (warriar with arcanite reaper111!!! ruuuuun!!11). I never really regret I played WoW for 2-3 years, it's certainly was a joy. Not like I gonna touch it with a ten feet pole nowadays.

Usually I just update my resume on HH sites and wait
