Learning

• Colin: Actually finishing projects before starting new ones
  • Startup weekend vs Finish weekend
  • Resolutions and goals
• CJ: Couple new vim things -
  • The missing semester of CS from MIT
  • `:g` global command which lets you run ex aka command line commands on multiple lines at once it has two arguments, a pattern to match to find which lines to run on and the command to run. I’m excited to use this instead of macros for some common editing cases.
• Tried out using Descript’s built in video recorder / editor for a video this week and it worked out pretty well except I couldn’t figure out the camera preview thing
• Now Colin wants to learn vim
• Happy 2024!
