@jeffalyanak
Yup, if I could edit it, I would have said that it wasn't the right word to use, but I'm glad I did use it because the comments here made me realize what a stupid word it is and I think it does the opposite of what people think it does- instead of pointing out something that is unfair, it just seems as an excuse for not knowing things.
I would definitely think twice before using it again(if ill ever use it at all) -
@arcadesdude
Yup,
It's harder when it's something I feel insecure about -
@Letmecode
I see your point and I agree. I wrote it when I was still angry and wanted to release some steam (I guess that this is the right place to do it :) ) and now I believe that this word is really unnecessary. I didn't pass job interviews a few times due to the fact that I'm a female(that's for a fact- I have a unisex name and as soon as I got to the interview and they saw that I'm a girl they didn't even try), of course there was some other interviews I didn't pass because I wasn't good enough, but the fact that it was because of my gender made me feel insecure, and I'm working on it :) -
@Makenshi
I guess using this specific word and blaming him for that was quite emotional. It felt like it because I only see him talking like that to the female developer on his team.
In hindsight he probably just was a bit condescending and maybe felt that he has to explain because he is a team leader or something -
@Letmecode
I hate it because I find it hard to believe that most of the times it has to do something with the fact that I'm a woman. I try to remain professional at all times and talk in a way that would not suggest that I know leas than I really do. I believe that that's why I haven't experienced that before. I was really surprised from the situation and will be more assertive next time -
@MasterSwagMan
They actually gave it as an example of what not to do, but yea, we were a department full of BOFHs :) -
@MasterSwagMan
Actually, it was part of my training back when I started working in IT -
Yes! Finally someone who knows what BOFH means!!

@awelxtr
In my opinion, There are lots of better vim cheat sheets available, but here - -
@R5on11c

@nikola1402
I do like memes :)
I think that there is also another Ben who fits here - -
Yup,
The way to my bf's heart was through the vim shortcuts I knew how to use. -
Will choose it over -

Sudo make me a sandwich

@WildReu
I personally have neither of the above, but maybe its time to purchase one. If that's the thing that's keeping me from being a millionaire I guess it's worth it :) -
My ideas come to me in the shower.. to bad I don't have some sort of water resilient notebook for that
