Yaml is really slow in vim

Apparently this is a known issue.

Here I'm documenting some specifics of the fix that weren't clear from the stackoverflow answer. Not totally sure if I did the "right" thing but it works.

1) Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stephpy/vim-yaml/master/after/syntax/yaml.vim to ~/.vim
2) Put "au BufNewFile,BufRead *.yaml,*.yml so ~/.vim/yaml.vim" at the top of ~/.vimrc

You should be good to go.

Recursive find and replace

This was way too hard to figure out. I gave up on using sed because I was getting "invalid command code ." and "illegal byte sequence" due to the -i option being interpreted differently on osx, and ended up corrupting my git repository..

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 perl -i -pe '$_ =~ s/progressUpdates/progressUpdate/g'
