    You are not a dinosaur.

    Look at it this way: while everyone else is busy erasing their muscle memory in favor of the next shiny thing every couple of years, you can spend that time improving on what you already know. Its actually giving you an edge.

    It's actually kind of funny. Developers using Vim (or Emacs, Neovim, etc.) are often perceived as archaic, yet very profitiert and the assumtion is that being a very proficient programmer let's them get away with using archaic tools. In actuality, I'd argue its the other way around. The fact that we dedicate time to mastering the tools of our trade leaves us with more capacity to actually become that proficient.
