Manage episode 322279878 series 3305522
Recent discussions on Twitter and in a few classes brought up the venerable VI editor (or the more common upgrade to VI, VIM).
It was once a must-learn tool for Unix/Linux/BSD administrators. It was used for editing configuration files, data entry, and even coding.
