Slow computer
Snail IO and Apple Mail atrociously slow
Tried to avoid GUI as much as possible
Started living in terminal
You will "waste" a lot of time setting this up
Forget (obvious) ROI
More fluid in your workflow
It’s a lot of fun!
Use the WTFPL!
Short enough for scripts

Vim
"It was supposed to be called the Pod
but Steve was getting the hang of Vim"
[action][repetition multiplier]movement
d2f.
delete up to the second dot
Store them in Git
Get a new machine much faster and consistent
For example .bash_profile .muttrc .vimrc .ssh/config
Learn bash (or PowerShell)
Automate everything with repeatable steps.
Follow @evilbashtips
Forget UIs, go command line
Set your own aliases and short cuts
Git custom commands
git-some-command
rsync is awwwwwsommmmmmme
Forget all other tools
Of course my backups are scripted
You can do time machine like feature
rsync --archive --verbose --one-file-system --hard-links \
--human-readable --inplace --numeric-ids -F \
--link-dest="backup/last" "source" "backup/timestamp"
Write emails in vim
Truly offline: mutt reads the local copy synced by offlineimap
offlineimap syncs every 10 mins
msmtpq queues sent email until there is network
Invest in your fluidity even at sunken cost
You will feel faster and happier
