    I noticed something strange happening during build process during a multi-tasking bug fix. Turns out I was using Gitlab CI's caching incorrectly. I should have been using artifacts. Here's what I saw.

    I use Vim for all my development work. I have been meaning to look for a very long time for something that can list the functions in the file that I am working for. I finally did a quick search and managed to come across Vim Taglist. From an initial play, it seems awesome!
