I used emacs(1) for a while as a development tool. When I went back to system administration, and before and after using emacs(1), I used vi(1).

I liked smitty for the <ESC>4 that would show the script/command that smitty would use. I used this feature a lot in the beginning to learn the IBMisms of AIX.

I have a side project that includes MySQL, PERL and AI(/ML). I've done unix for 34 years. I've done lots of things in those decades including building compilers, debuggers, subclassing X widgets and writing databases. I've written production code in 40 languages. I can and have done lots and still have lots to learn. I live in an RV and can go anywhere and I have a Secret and Security+.
