Reading @mwl's #EdMastery and taking notes in VSCode:

Did I say VSCode? psyche!! I meant #ed, of course! 🤣

After having to embarrass myself earlier by asking one of our robot overlords to help me drive ed(1) I have ordered a copy of @mwl's #EdMastery book. Yes, the one he released as an #AprilFool. Have now read the #ebook version and ... it contains just what I needed and what CoPilot helped me with. I therefore recommend that you all buy it.

@ed1conf

Tror jag vinner VM i nördighet med denna julklapp till mig själv. Ska avnjuta den i soffan under mellandagarna för att varva ner ordentligt

Ingen här som kör ed?

I will never reach inbox zero.

My inbox has a message from Ken Thompson giving me a quote to promote #EdMastery, and it will sit in front and center in my inbox FOREVER.

"See? Microsoft Word has nothing on ed. NOTHING"

#EdMastery

You can now get an Enterprise License for "Ed Mastery" for a paltry $299.99, good for up to five hundred users!

#drawterm'ing into my #9front cpu server in text mode using my #eink tablet, editing text with only #ed. Does this count as a non-glass paper #terminal? 🤔

“If you write a #regex that looks for slashes, it starts to resemble the jaw of a Tyrannosaurus.”
@mwlucas, #edmastery

😂😂😂

@mwlucas I want to tell you that #edmastery is very good to read, especially for a non-native reader. The language is easy to understand and the structure is easy to follow.

I currently read 50% and I like it! 🙂

BTW:
`vi(1)` also has an __"ex-mode"__ which is sort of a builtin `ed(1)`.

I study and practice `ed(1)` to be hip, to learn `vi(1)`'s `ex` and __REGEX__-es.

Learning `ed(1)` is like learning Latin/Old Greek because it's ancient and "used everywhere" - both availability (even when all else fails) and that it's influence can be felt "everywhere".
Another bonus will be the ability to run `edbrowse(1)` efficiently!
@mwlucas has a great book called "ED MASTERY".
