In my own case, I had been taught the golden rule of
"use the style that
is already in use" - which I admit, was a hard lesson when I was young I
admit.
In my first Unix job (roughly 40 years ago), I read the vi reference manual
and memorized the keystroke commands. And then did
% cd /user/include
% vi *.h
to fix up all the indents and comments.
Later on I graduated to learning not to do control-p on a Vax console a
second time.
What were your mistakes? ("Always mount a scratch monkey")
