With multiple cursors, we can see more of the dungeon, uh, I mean code.

There are other version control systems out there, and have been for decades. So yes, I would consider git to be modern.

If you have multiple similar lines, you can perform the same editing on them all at once.

Kernighan, what was I thinking?

Me too. But the other day, a junior developer and I were looking at some fairly old code, and I recognized the writing style in the comment as mine. We ran p4 annotate and, sure enough, I was the baddie.

It ran outta gas. It had a flat tire. It didn’t have enough money for cab fare. Its tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole its car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts!

I do the same thing, and it pays off. Afew months ago, my Dell computer was being really laggy. I had a maintenance contract, and when I called them, I gave them a detailed description of the behavior and a list of exactly what I had tried before calling (it was extensive and exhaustive). I could hear the gears in the support repository head grind to a half momentarily and then restart in another mode altogether, and she jumped right to advanced troubleshooting. It was a great moment for both of us,.

I’m right there with you.
