I’m trying to get a job in IT that will (hopefully) pay more than a usual 9 to 5. I’m been daily driving Linux exclusively for about 2 1/2 years now and I’m trying to improve my skills to the point that I could be considered a so-called “power user.” My question is this: will this increase my hiring chances significantly or marginally?
When looking for Linux tech jobs to apply to, a lot of them actually have Vim experience as a preferred quality. Can any experts confirm this?
Been in the industry for over 25 years, I have not once been asked to use vim. I mean, of course I do, but mostly I am the only vim user in my teams.
Nah. That’s like bragging that you memorize a lot of Pi digits.
Some on the IT team in my company use vim, some use nano, some probably use notepad or something ridiculous.
It’s just a text editor and knowing vim doesn’t automatically make me assume you’re competent at anything.
