Sanix is a backend engineer and an electronic geek, originally from West Africa (Cameroon), but now living in France. He’s been programming for 6 years.
He enjoys contributing to open-source projects and building CLI tools.
His philosophy is "there is nothing you can't do on your tty(terminal).", that's why he considers himself a minimalist and a GIGA terminal fan!
Neovim and Terminal
For his Neovim config, he uses FZF with fzf-preview (not telescope.nvim) to search for things, git-messenger which allows you to reveal the commit messages under the cursor, trouble.nvim to list errors & diagnostics, vim-rest-console which is a REST console for Vim (demo), hop.nvim which improves on vim motions, snips.nvim which makes it easy to share coding snippets (similar to Pastebin), and finally silicon.nvim to generate images for code snippets.
