It's important to pretend. You either get to enjoy pretending or practice being.

As I continue to escape into the obscuria of elder text mangling tools, I've found myself enjoying the opportunity to act as the local #viTips fairy when I find anything interesting or useful.
And here's another cool vi trick I found!
You can append to a file rather than overwriting it by prefixing >> to the filename:
:w >>appendtofilename
This can work on parts of a buffer by prefixing line numbers or ranges:
2,+1w >>appendfilename
This appends the second and subsequent line.

Today's clown widsom feels especially timely for me, as I actively get my hands dirty trying to learn things.

Yes. <3
Around the clown lab, we often talk about discomfort being an excellent teacher.
It's weirdly comforting to see advice in the wild that shares the wisdom of embracing the uncomfortable feeling that comes with learning (and the failure that powers it).
We also joke that LEARNING! would make a terrific swear word. ;)

We made a ridiculous thing with our silly human brains, using our filthy human hands, in order to inspire our messy human hearts.
It is with strong encouragement, and a few simple rules, that we invite you to use your brains, hands, and hearts to play along with us.
