I wanted automatic session save/reopen in Neovim, and a few Lua lines and shell function later and I got it! https://t.co/Ylorsh1U1w

It's never a fun day when you can't boot up your machine because of a bug in initramfs, but it gave me the opportunity to document how to recovery the disk and fix the issue! https://t.co/rmJBqW0b1Q #linux #debian

@MartinDotNet But why pay then when you can pay $0/dev/month?

I wrote my first Neovim plugin! It allows me to connect to a postgres database and run queries: https://t.co/lNDH4g2W83 Lua is a lot of fun and a great experience to use with extending nvim! #vim #neovim #postgres #postgresql

@johncodes Yeah! This is an important game. I hate to say a must-win but...

[Thomas Stringer @tr_stringer]

@fatih Great piece and beautifully played

@johncodes @saucedopen @bdougieYO I got to say, as a pizza lover @saucedopen has the best logo ever

[Thomas Stringer @tr_stringer]

@kellabyte @MartinDotNet is a good person to help with this, I think!

@anze3db I never loved the additional indentation of python context managers. For me the Go way is nicer to look at!

@VicVijayakumar I am a classical pianist and started when I was 6 years old. Daily practice, weekly lessons, competitions, the whole thing. While it isn't my career, at this point in my life playing classical piano is a major escape and big time enjoyment

[Thomas Stringer @tr_stringer]

@johncodes Totally agreed. For anything I want to persist I put it on my blog

[Thomas Stringer @tr_stringer]

@johncodes I’m not sure I could ever go back to the no-Lua land alternative

[Thomas Stringer @tr_stringer]

I had been a Vim user for a *very* long time. I'm about 2 months into a switch to Neovim and it's a world of difference on so many levels. Particularly, I just started writing my first plugin. It's such a great experience using Lua. I never had an interest in Vimscript

[Thomas Stringer @tr_stringer]

@johncodes So true. I was able to get a quick plugin I was wanting up and running in a couple of hours. No Lua or neovim API experience and it wasn't bad at all. I definitely need to clean it up and iterate a bit but it's already usable
