functools.total_ordering makes adding all of six of the rich comparison operators to your custom classes much easier, and more likely that you remember all of them.
From the Docs: The class must define one of __lt__(), __le__(), __gt__(), or __ge__ In addition, the class should supply an __eq__() method.

Smoother Python with automatic imports | pyflyby
This is not a flaky works half the time kind of plugin, it’s a seriously smooth editing experience. I’ve just started using pyflyby, and it is solid so far. I have automatic imports on every save of a python file in neovim, and automatic imports on every command in ipython.
I can’t tell you how pumped I am for this, and how good its felt to use over the past few weeks. It’s glorious.
Listen to me rant on how great pyflyby is

You must use augroup with autocmd in vim | Here's how
If you are running vim autocmd’s without a group, you’re killing your performance. Granted your probably not sourcing your vimscript files with autocmd’s too often, but every time you source that vimscript you are adding another command that needs to run redundantly.
Not silky smooth

Code Review from the comfort of vim | Diffurcate
I often review Pull requests from the browser as it just makes it so easy to see the diffs and navigate through them, but there comes a time when the diffs get really big and hard to follow. That’s when its time to bring in the comforts of vim.
This all stems from the great plugin by AndrewRadev. It breaks a down into a project. So rather than poping into a pager from 1 min read
Setup a yaml schema | yamlls for a silky smooth setup
I’ve gone far too long without a good setup for editing yaml files, I am missing out on autocomplete and proper diagnostics. This ends today as I setup yaml-language-server in neovim.
The video for this one is part of a challenge-playlist I put out for myself to constantly improve my dotfiles for all of December.

Open files FAST from zsh | or bash if thats your thing
I am often in a set of tmux splits flying back and forth, accidentally close my editor, so when I come back to that split and hit my keybinds to edit files I enter them into zsh rather than into nvim like I intended. Today I am going to sand off that rough edge and get as similar behavior to nvim as I can with a couple of aliases.
Make sure you check out the YouTube video to see all of my improvements.

How linux users install a text editor
In honor of the neovim 0.6.0 release, I decided to do a funny skit installing neovim, and fix up my install script in the process as part of my challenge to fix up my dotfiles. I ran into one snag where I was not updating the repo that I cloned. I moved it to the directory I now keep third-party git repos and set it to update with ansible.
The thing that took me the longest to realize was…. I had a path issue pointing me to an old install of the appimage over the fresh build, fixed that up and now we are on 0.7.0 nightly.

lewis6991 has done a fantastic job with gitsigns.nvim. Highly recommend taking a look.
Git integration for buffers
30 days dotfile ricing
I am challenging myself to 30 days of dotfile ricing. I have been on linux desktop for a few months now and have a pretty good workflow going, I have the coarse edits done to my workflow, but it has some rough edges that need sanded down. It’s time to squash some of those little annoyances that still exist in my setup.
This is primarily going to be focused on productivity, but may have a few things to just look better. This will comprise heavily of aliases, zsh, and nvim config.

When I’m not wrangling data pipeline platforms or building web platforms, you’ll find me gaming with my kids, making art, or skating around the neighborhood. Reliving my mechanical engineering days with my 3d printer. Winding down at the end of the day binge-watching Big Bang Theory with my wife.
