Claims a 1,000+ hour VS Code setup distilled into a 70‑video course and dozens of concrete workflows: keyboard-first editing with command shift p, Sublime muscle‑memory restored via Sublime Text keymap, multi‑cursor selection, line duplicate/delete shortcuts and file‑wide rename. Releases a theme shades of purple (marketed to 1.3M users) and shows live installs and keymap mapping that make switching productive; reports ~6,000 developers adopting the course workflows and measurable speed gains.
