Learning Vanilla Emacs from Scratch with Prot as a Neovim User
6 juli 2026 · 1 uur 54 min
Joshua Blais is back on the podcast, and this episode goes all over the place: Guix, Nix breaking, distro hopping, Emacs, Neovim, 34-key keyboards, home row mods, back pain, ADHD, Adderall, phone addiction, online presence, AI, spirituality, gratitude, community, and making money on YouTube. Lees meer
We start with Linux and editor talk, including why Nix broke, what Guix is, why Joshua uses Emacs, whether he might go back to Neovim, and the difference between Doom Emacs and vanilla Emacs. Then we get into the ergonomic side of tech: back problems, chairs, keyboard placement, Colemak, concavity, 34 keys, where Shift goes on a tiny keyboard, ZMK, QMK, switches, and how keyboard choices affect your body.
The second half gets more personal. We talk about substance abuse, Adderall, the ADHD trend, putting your phone away, whether kids should have phones or tablets, trying to build an online presence while also wanting to go offline, monetizing YouTube, having a community, IRC, networking, AI, spirituality, gratitude, and whether the Luke Smith path is the right path.

FFF Claims to Be the Best Neovim File Picker. Is It?
17 juni 2026 · 1 uur 33 min
Interview with Dmitriy Kovalenko, creator of FFF, a fast file search picker for Neovim that describes itself as “the best file search picker for neovim. Period.” Lees meer
We’ll talk about why he built FFF, how it compares to tools like Telescope, fzf-lua, and snacks.nvim, and why file picking in Neovim is still such a hot topic. We’ll also get into performance, memory usage, plugin bloat, Rust, Neovim workflows, and the fun drama that happens when someone says their tool is the best.
Dmitriy is also known for having strong opinions online. We’ll talk about open source, controversial takes, what makes a Neovim plugin actually good, and whether modern Neovim setups are becoming too bloated.

Kovid Goyal on Kitty: Drag and Drop, Pixel Scrolling, and What’s Next
15 juni 2026 · 1 uur 15 min
Mitchell Hashimoto wasn’t able to join this episode for personal reasons, so we made a small pivot. Lees meer
A lot of people already knew about the original Ghostty vs Kitty livestream, so I wanted to explain that clearly here too. Mitchell couldn’t make it this time, and I completely understand. We’ll see what happens in the future.
That said, this still turned into a really fun conversation with Kovid Goyal, creator of kitty and calibre.
In this episode, we talk about kitty, recent popular features, terminal UX, design choices, performance, workflows, and some of what may be coming next. Kovid also talks about things like pixel scrolling with momentum, drag and drop for kitty UI elements like windows and tabs, and an early look at a possible future drag and drop protocol for terminal programs, which could make things like transferring files between two different computers much easier.
So even though this is no longer a Ghostty vs Kitty conversation, I still think this episode will be really interesting if you care about terminal emulators, keyboard-driven workflows, macOS, Linux, Neovim, native apps, developer tools, and open source software.

Neovim 0.12 Release with the Core Team
11 juni 2026 · 1 uur 24 min
In this episode, I’m joined by members of the Neovim core team to talk about the Neovim 0.12 release, the biggest new features, project direction, AI, workflows, plugins, and why people still use Neovim in a world full of AI editors and modern IDEs. Lees meer
This is not just a Neovim 0.12 feature overview. It’s also a conversation to help people get to know the humans behind the project. We talk about what changed in Neovim 0.12, how the release came together, what maintainers care about, how they personally use Neovim, and where they see Neovim going next.
We talk about Neovim 0.12 features, multicursor, the new intro screen, the new build system, UI improvements, Ghostty progress bar support, checkhealth, bug reports, :restart, tmux-related workflows, terminal rendering, Doom in Neovim, LazyVim and Neovim 0.12, AI in Neovim, and more.
If you use Neovim, Vim, LazyVim, Ghostty, tmux, or you’re just curious why people still care so much about terminal-based editors, this episode should be for you.

Echasnovski (pt 2): Linux, Terminals, and Tools (Ghostty vs Kitty, NixOS, Arch)
11 juni 2026 · 1 uur 18 min
Part 2 of my 3+ hour chat with Echasnovski (mini.nvim / MiniMax) goes full Linux and tooling mode. We continue our Neovim discussion, then we get to know the nvim-mini team, talk about EndeavourOS + Arch (and the Ubuntu-to-Arch jump), how he approaches updates, thoughts on NixOS, and the macOS “it’s expensive” misconception. Then we get into terminals: why Ghostty over Kovid Goyal’s Kitty, whether the performance difference is real, and his thoughts on Kovid. If you’re into distros, terminals, and practical dev workflows, this one is for you. Lees meer

Echasnovski (pt 1): mini.nvim, MiniMax & Neovim Contributions
14 januari 2026 · 1 uur 56 min
Echasnovski is the creator of mini.nvim, as per the website: Lees meer
"Library of 40+ independent Lua modules improving overall Neovim (version 0.9 and higher) experience with minimal effort."
He's also the creator of MiniMax:
"MiniMax is a collection of fully working self-contained Neovim configs. All of the them: Use mostly MINI to showcase its capabilities. Provide out of the box a stable, polished, and feature rich Neovim experience. Share minimal structure with potential to build upon. Contain extensively commented config files meant to be read."
The interview is over 3 hours long, so it is split in 2. Part 2 is going to be released soon

Sylvan Franklin: Looks Like a 12 Year Old, but Already has Peach Fuzz
11 januari 2026 · 1 uur 43 min
This is the 2nd time (or third time, would be forth but he no showed no called me once, MF) that Vimothée Chalamet AKA @sylvanfranklin shows up in my channel. In the last interview we discussed about Neovim, drugs (including Adderall), and many other topics. But it seems that as of Q4 2025 he's going for the kefir, kombucha, yoga pants, breathing techniques, pachamama and on his way to become a zen monk. Or maybe not. Let's see what he's up to because he changes his mind every couple of months. Lees meer

Kovid Goyal: Linux, Window Managers, and GitHub Controversies
3 december 2025 · 1 uur 30 min
Kovid Goyal is the creator of the Kitty terminal and the Calibre e-book reader. We had an interview around 4 months ago. After that interview, I became a fan of the myth, the legend. So much so that I switched back from Ghostty to Kitty as my main terminal. Well, not just because, but because he implemented a feature I was missing in Ghostty: Sessions. So I was able to replace my beloved tmux with kitty and I've been running without tmux for a few months now, it's been good. Lees meer

Debugprint.nvim | The Best Print Debug Tool for Neovim?
13 september 2025 · 1 uur 23 min
Let's meet Andrew Ferrier, the creator of the neovim plugin debugprint.nvim debugprint is a NeoVim plugin that simplifies debugging for those who prefer a low-tech approach. Instead of using a sophisticated debugger like nvim-dap, some people prefer using a 'print'-like statement to trace the output during execution. With debugprint, you can insert these statements, including the values of variables, relevant to the language you're editing. Lees meer

No One Talks About This Side of Tech YouTube… (feat. Medeski, Nikolov, Blais)
13 september 2025 · 1 uur 38 min
I used to romanticize the idea of being a “tech influencer.” In this episode, I talk with three creators I deeply respect: @JoshMedeski , @nikolovlazar , and @JoshuaBlais what it’s actually like behind the scenes. We dive into personal setups, struggles with content creation, balancing real life and YouTube, and the mental toll of staying “relevant” in the tech space. If you’re into Neovim, Emacs, Linux, macOS, or just want to hear honest takes on the tech creator "lifestyle" (I know, chatgpt sometimes likes to write too much nonsense), this one is for you.
