Still Sublime after all these years

August 8, 2026

Apropos of David Bushell’s post, I thought I’d just mention, I still use Sub­lime Text for all of my pro­gram­ming AND all of my newsletter-ing — I write them as Mark­down files first, then send ren­dered HTML to Buttondown via its great API.

I am, indeed, typing this short post into Sub­lime Text.

The app is simple and superfast; I have it set up exactly the way I like it (with that setup synced between computers, via Dropbox), and it’s dif­fi­cult for me to imagine ever switching to any­thing else.

Here is a piece of soft­ware as sturdy and obe­dient as a cast-iron pan.
