Tmux/Vim Workshop (Bring a Laptop!)

A terminal multiplexer and a decades old editor…wow…so what? I'll tell you so what! Have you ever wanted to build your own IDE that suits your development style but didn't have the skills or the time? Are you a polyglot seeking the power of an IDE, but there's simply no one tool that meets all of your needs? Look no further.

This workshop will show you how to utilize these two tools to create lightweight, yet rich development environments that are language, framework, and platform agnostic. Not only that, but we'll leverage the ability of both of these tools to keep your fingers “on the home row” of your keyboard while at the same time enabling you to quickly switch between multiple tasks and contexts, thus enhancing your overall productivity.

About Matt Stine

My passion is taking a metaphysical approach to software engineering: what is the nature of the collaborative game that we continuously play, and are there better, more contextually-aware ways to play that game?

By day I lead a team tasked with taking a first-principles-centric approach to intentionally enabling programming language usage at the largest bank in the United States.

By night I write and teach my way through a masterclass in software engineering and architecture targeting early-career software engineers working in large-scale enterprise technology organizations.

What is the primary goal?

To win the game. More seriously: to get 1% better every day at providing business value through software.

Who am I?

I'm a 22-year veteran of the enterprise software industry. I've played almost every role I can imagine:

  • Software Engineer
  • Software Architect
  • Technical Lead
  • Engineering Manager
  • Consultant
  • Product Manager
  • Field CTO
  • Developer Advocate
  • Conference Speaker
  • Author
  • Technical Trainer
  • Technical Marketer
  • Site Reliability Engineer
  • Desktop Support Specialist

I've worked at Fortune 500 companies, a tenacious teal cloud startup, and a not-for-profit children's hospital. I've written a book, and I've hosted a podcast. I've learned a lot along the way, including many things I wish I'd known when I first got started. And so now I want to pass those learnings on to you, especially if you've only just begun your career.
