People still use vi? Nano is a lot nicer, and should be available after a standard install

"seems to be".
How often have you seen people using it?

Not where I work, but that's a Windows environment and we are happy with Notepad++

I haven't tried Nano, I'll have to look into it. On Windows, I usually use PSPad for plain text or vim if I need vi features. It's hard to beat vi's replacement and searching features.

Many years ago, before the advent of IDEs, I was working on a DOS based system that used a 3GL called Dataflex and had obtained a text editor called MultiEdit, which was a huge improvement over coding using Notepad.
One of my colleagues, who from time to time had to use the UNIX version of the 3GL, saw this and was mightily impressed. "It would be great to be able to use the same editor for DOS and UNIX development - can you get MultiEdit for UNIX?"
"No" I replied, "but I can get you vi for DOS!" He used foul language to me at that point and walked away.

I'm beginning to think you're a bit pixilated[^], yourself (a now obscure meaning, perhaps?)

If I recall, it was used at the court hearing in Arsenic and Old Lace. However, I can only seem to find it in "Mr Deeds Goes to Town", q.v.[^]

Right. My memories of really old movies is getting old, too. *sighs heavily, pulls teeth from glass in nightstand* I really have to get it together better in the morning.

Is a radar-equipped boat sensorship?
Is the boat's purser in charge of cents o' ship?
I'll bow to your better judgement; it may all be rudder nonsense anyway; though get it wrong and we'll end up in the dock. (See this, of course...[^])

They took me into the censorship

One of the developers is giving me a hard time now.
We have a simple proto to be developed.
Two modules, each having 3 screens.
We just need 6 APIs altogether.
3 for each module.
The developer is so stuck with the "CRUD" idea in mind.
That he cannot resist developing all the Create, Read, Update, Delete & all the fancy REST operations Put, Patch.
I just needed a Create API to populate the data. Nobody cares if the data is deletable or updateable.
I just needed 3 APIs for the first module & then move on two the 2nd module.
Now he's writing the 6th API for the *first module*,  Validating and checking a lot of scenarios for update & delete.

That's not perfectionism, that simply a curse. Wasting time, effort and resources on something that is not in the scope of the project, even potentially introducing bugs with code that should not be there in the first place.

That was my first thought.
However, I disagree that the developer has a curse. Nand32 has the curse ... his developer.

Sounds like someone who's been burned one time too many when PHBs declared a prototype to be exactly what they needed and insisted on taking it directly into production.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
