I’m a new Vim user (just turned on the IDE plugin for the motions about 3 months ago) so I’m still pretty clunky. I know after the steep learning curve it will pay off, not to mention ward off wrist pain.

I was recently reassigned to another project at work where the whole team operates by “mob programming” on everything, all day, all the time. So folks get to see me stumble over myself in real time. It particularly infuriates the tech lead when she is navigating and I’m driving. She has all but stopped short of demanding I turn it off.

So pair/collaborative/mob programmers - what do you do especially while still learning the motions? Suck it up and be willing to look dumb in front of a group (hahaha - is there an equivalent of “student driver” bumper stickers for this?), turn it off when grouped with a Vim hater? Something else I haven’t thought of?
