Debugprint.nvim | The Best Print Debug Tool for Neovim?

Let's meet Andrew Ferrier, the creator of the neovim plugin debugprint.nvim debugprint is a NeoVim plugin that simplifies debugging for those who prefer a low-tech approach. Instead of using a sophisticated debugger like nvim-dap, some people prefer using a 'print'-like statement to trace the output during execution. With debugprint, you can insert these statements, including the values of variables, relevant to the language you're editing.Link to the video:https://youtu.be/ae-C0hXsZ0gWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Intro00:01:57 - Andrew also owns wrapping.nvim00:02:27 - debugprint.nvim repo overview00:05:30 - debugprint.nvim demo00:09:55 - undo and redo debug statements00:13:46 - demo with a lua file00:15:02 - mini.nvim for hightlight color00:19:24 - What about unsupported languages?00:20:26 - add custom filetypes00:23:22 - console.info console.warn javascript typescript00:25:31 - Surround feature00:27:43 - Use in visual mode00:28:33 - Operator pending expressions00:33:32 - Put contents in registries00:35:32 - You can move the print statements00:36:21 - When did you start with neovim?00:38:18 - Thoughts on emacs and other editors00:39:46 - Thoughts on neovim distros00:40:55 - Who is andrew, where find him00:42:35 - YouTube channel?00:43:20 - experience maintaining open source00:46:45 - File explorer in Neovim00:49:59 - Colorscheme gruvbox00:51:24 - Tool to take notes00:52:05 - Tool to push to github, tig00:53:12 - Thoughts on Tmux00:54:32 - Why Linux for personal use00:56:05 - Arch linux on desktop00:56:25 - Debian on servers, chad00:58:17 - Thoughts on Windows01:00:06 - Window manager, i301:01:33 - Single or multiple monitors01:02:20 - Terminal emulator, kitty01:02:58 - Keyboard, qwerty layout01:03:52 - Thoughts on AI01:05:57 - Working on any other projects01:06:32 - wrapping.nvim01:07:42 - Dotfiles repo01:08:17 - favorite terminal tools01:08:38 - lf file manager01:08:56 - entr to re-run make command01:11:44 - Favorite neovim plugins01:17:25 - Thoughts on homelab01:19:07 - Favorite music bands01:19:41 - Favorite movies01:20:48 - Videogames?

No One Talks About This Side of Tech YouTube… (feat. Medeski, Nikolov, Blais)

I used to romanticize the idea of being a “tech influencer.” In this episode, I talk with three creators I deeply respect: @JoshMedeski , @nikolovlazar , and @JoshuaBlais what it’s actually like behind the scenes. We dive into personal setups, struggles with content creation, balancing real life and YouTube, and the mental toll of staying “relevant” in the tech space. If you’re into Neovim, Emacs, Linux, macOS, or just want to hear honest takes on the tech creator "lifestyle" (I know, chatgpt sometimes likes to write too much nonsense), this one is for you.Link to the video:https://youtu.be/m2MeLxz-s_wWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:01:54 - What is this video about?00:03:14 - Who is Josh Medeski00:03:57 - Who is Lazar Nikolov00:04:41 - Who is Joshua Blais00:05:38 - Medeski's spacemacs experience00:06:39 - Medeski's setup00:07:16 - Medeski switched to Aerospace00:09:43 - Why Medeski uses Obsidian00:11:36 - Nikolov's setup00:13:34 - yellow dot blinking tmux00:15:11 - Nikolov jetbrains exploration00:15:35 - Blais setup, emacs and linux00:18:46 - hardtime.nvim00:19:12 - Things learned as tech influencer00:19:30 - Medeski00:22:43 - Nikolov00:24:55 - Blais00:26:08 - linkarzu00:27:05 - Do you have social media presence?00:31:42 - Tweet from emacs00:32:06 - Struggles keep up with latest00:34:26 - Pewdipie linux video00:34:55 - Lazar struggles00:36:20 - Blais struggles00:37:57 - Evergreen content?00:39:03 - Medeski experience with vision pro00:40:44 - Linkarzu experience as new youtuber00:45:12 - Create script for videos?00:47:23 - How you feel on tech influencer term00:51:29 - Bad youtube experiences?00:51:44 - Medeski00:53:56 - Nikolov benq monitor00:57:08 - Blais00:58:12 - Linkarzu reddit drama00:59:49 - Work life balance Medeski01:01:39 - Nikolov01:02:57 - Blais01:04:15 - Linkarzu01:06:44 - Binge watch youtube?01:09:02 - Thoughts on sharing dotfiles01:09:20 - Medeski01:11:38 - Nikolov01:12:57 - Blais01:14:06 - Linkarzu01:16:14 - 1password CLI01:16:50 - unixpass password store01:17:46 - Would you take sponsorship just for money01:22:46 - Recommend start a youtube channel?01:28:26 - Niching down?01:34:26 - Where to find josh medeski01:35:48 - Where to find Lazar Nikolov01:36:47 - Where to find Joshua Blais
