You know the rhythm:
Long hours, too many buffers, your terminal glowing like a campfire at midnight. You open Vim with a purpose. Seconds later, you’re in it. Editing. Navigating. Master of your own modal reality.
But when it’s time to leave?
That’s when it gets existential.

—None of them quite escape the deeper truth…
🌀 Life Is Like Vim
Vim isn’t just a text editor. It’s a state of mind.
You enter with confidence.
You edit with control.
You struggle to quit — not because you don’t know how, but because something in you isn't ready to let go.
It mirrors life itself:
We jump in, make changes, refactor who we are — and when it’s time to move on? That’s the hardest part.
👕 The Shirt: A Dev’s Inner Monologue
This T-shirt says what every dev has felt, quietly or loudly, in their journey.
Front: “You enter. You edit. You struggle to quit.”
Back: “Life is like Vim.”
It’s not just a joke.
It’s a mantra.
For coders who’ve grown through the pain of hjkl
, modal awareness, and spiritual quests to exit — this shirt is a badge of honor.
✅ Get It. Wear It. Exit Gracefully.
Whether you’re a terminal ninja or a wanderer still lost in Normal Mode, this shirt reminds you:
Every keystroke is a choice.
Every escape, earned.
Every line of life — editable.
