Developer productivity is not and never was bottlenecked by their tools.

One snap of the fingers in one of the many layers above us and million dollar projects succeed or fail. We are always a fancy dinner or business relation gone sour away from success or failure.

Vim or emacs come into play at layer 245 in the system and their impact on the final business reality is approximately 0,003%.

Who cares? One fire or war and a carpenter's work all comes crumbling down. Should he then not care about his work or his tools or materials and nail any old shit together? Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Who cares? Those who measure actual impact instead of showing off.

Focus on what matters is my only advice. Hint: it’s not your editor.

just because the project got cancelled and won't ship doesn't reduce the rate of developer productivity on the project though. it sucks when your code won't ship, but the craftwork imbued in the source is still there.
