A presentation advocating for using classic Unix tools—shell, tmux, and vim—instead of heavyweight IDEs. It discusses the benefits of returning to foundational workflows ("sharpening the saw") and argues for productivity gains and simplicity by relying on the command line, terminal multiplexing, and a modal text editor rather than full IDE toolchains.
