I have procrastinated learning programming for over 4 years. My effort in the last two years of my engineering degree I hated was non existent. I procrastinated so hard and only just graduated with an acceptable grade. Not even group work could stop me handing in utter shit.

After graduation I worked in wagie part-time jobs (I am too ugly and autistic to be good at graduate job interviews) and told myself every day "Tomorrow I'll take advantage of my huge amounts of free time and learn maths, programming, and read more books!" Nope. Never happened. Two years of my life pass, I'm now working in an outwardly respectable job but hate myself just as much, procrastinate doing anything worthwhile in my free time, procrastinate giving up coffee and junk food.

I have epiphanies and hope every evening. I wake up feeling doomed due to laziness and ugliness. I tell myself I'll use my jealousy of the Chads and Staceys and bitterness at society as a motivator but I deeply give no fucks (at times).

Switch to Wayland, get rid of the kludge of X.
Switch to Hawaii, get a modern, familiar user experience.
Switch to Fedora, stop tinkering with low-level problems every time you update your system.

Is there a point in learning these ancient text editors?
Will they make my workflow 10x times more productive? Or are the just another meme?

Using Sublime text 3 for my Python and Java at the moment.
Everything is fine but rumors about super-fast workflow can't let me be at peace.
