The Benjamin Franklin Effect and why you need to quit your job before it’s too late
The Benjamin Franklin Effect and why you need to quit your job before it’s too late There’s something you should know. Your brain is reactive, and your moral values are pliable. If you’re sticking it out in a job where you’re not happy, you had better hightail it out of there before your brain has time to rewire the way you think about it. What Benjamin Franklin taught us Benjamin Franklin was a smart guy. In 1737, Benjamin was about to be voted in as clerk of the General Assembly for the second time, when a curious thing happened. He saw that this man was “a gentleman of fortune and education, with talents that were likely to give him, in time, great influence in the House.” But this is where the story gets interesting. “He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” With this in mind, he sent a note to this enemy, asking to borrow “a certain very scarce and curious book” that the man owned. No kidding. Why? Come on.

Graphical vi-vim Cheat Sheet and Tutorial
Learning vi or vim is not easy. But it doesn't have to be that difficult, either. It is, in any case, faster, more powerful, and more productive than editing with any other editor, so you would do very well in investing the time and effort to learn it. Being a vi lover myself, I came up with the idea of providing a graphical cheat sheet for those learning vi or vim, and I also found out it was a very good way to structure a tutorial. Here are the results for your learning enjoyment (or your colleagues'). By the way, I recently published the definitive article explaining why vi/vim editing is so much better than regular editing. Graphical cheat sheet This is a single page describing the full vi/vim input model, the function of all keys, and all major features. Graphical cheat sheet based tutorial The tutorial above is structured in 7 lessons that cover the major commands in vi/vim. Notes With the single exception of the external filter feature ("!")
