ABSTRACT

As a kid of the 90s, reading about a new editor or fancy shell coming out triggers playing Inspector Gadget's tune in my head. To invest a few fun hours into exploring a new tool that might save me a split second or two in processes that I run a hundred times daily may not always pay off by the hour even in a lifetime of programming, but it is totally worth it in most cases – at least to me. Repetitive work is tiring and error-prone, adds to cognitive workload, and shifts focus away from hard-to-tackle puzzles.
