At my school there is a 2 unit class that you must take along with the intro DS&A course that teaches bash, vim, git, testing, etc. It was definitely the class that helped me the most in my internship and also made me a Vim user.

I too use (Mac)Vim.

In my experience, most CS majors at UCSD that I've met complain about the course. On the other hand, DSC doesn't have an equivalent, which I find disappointing but understandable. Maybe it'll get one in the future.

Oof, the main memory I associate with this class was not realizing there was a midterm and therefore not showing up for the midterm.

Still passed though, and with an A somehow. Thank you, guardian angel TA!
