Zellij and Helix together might actually be just plain better than Neovim
For starters Helix is a masterpiece. Imagine Neovim with telescope, lspconfig, lspsaga, gitsigns, and which-key all built-in. It’s a finished piece of software as far as I’m concerned. The maintainers could permanently feature freeze it today and I’d be happy. They’re shipping a plugin engine soon and I almost wish they wouldn’t.

Copy relative path to file in Helix
In recent weeks I’ve accidentally migrated from Neovim to Helix. I say “accidentally” because I wasn’t really intending to switch. There was a post on Lobste.rs called “Notes on switching to Helix from vim” that I read about a month ago, which inspired me to give Helix a bit of a try. My expectation had been that it’d be an interesting experiment but instead I found myself choosing to use Helix all the time.

The Tinder Box is a Morrowind Let's Play
When I was little my grandad used to read me this book called The Tinder Box. I got hold of a copy a few years back in order to have something with some nostalgic value in the bedtime story rotation. I’ve been reading it quite frequently ever since.
