The screencast contains the best of what I’ve learned for creating and editing Rails code at top-speed.” #That stuff is true! I work full-time as a Rails developer, and I’ve been a vim user for several years. I’m also a nearly compulsive optimizer (I’ve aliased ‘ls’ to ‘a’ because it saves me a keystroke).
