Learn to use git bisect to find the exact commit that introduced a bug using binary search — and how to automate it so Git does all the work while you grab a coffee.

Learn to use git reflog to recover deleted commits, lost branches, and any change that seemed gone forever after a reset or a Git mistake.

AI lies with total conviction. Learn to detect hallucinations, understand context blindness, and apply the verification checklist that separates code that works from code that looks like it works.

Insert mode isn't just 'press i and type'. Learn the nine ways to enter it, the keyboard shortcuts inside it, and the golden rule that separates Vim beginners from people who actually know what they're doing.

You already know how to make decisions with if. Now learn how to repeat them. while loops execute code over and over as long as a condition holds — and yes, infinite loops are very real.

Learn to open shells inside containers, run commands in live containers with docker exec, copy files with docker cp, and know when to use interactive vs. detached mode.

Learn how to use git cherry-pick to apply specific commits from one branch to another—perfect for backporting hotfixes, rescuing buried work, and surgical history management.

Learn how to use git rebase -i to reorder, combine, rename, and delete commits before integrating your work. Take full control of your history, commit by commit.

From writing code to directing AI: understand the new mental model, which tasks are worth delegating and which aren't, and why clarity of thought is now your most valuable skill.

Understand how Large Language Models work under the hood — no equations, just the mental models that explain why they hallucinate so confidently and how to use that to your advantage.

Normal mode isn't just where you land between keystrokes — it's where Vim lives. Learn word movements, the operator+motion grammar, and how a handful of keys gives you near-infinite editing power.

Your code has always executed the same instructions in the same order. With if, elif, and else, it can finally make decisions. Learn to write programs that react to data.
