Purchase and Support
LazyVim For Ambitious Developers will always be free to read online. There is an entire textbook's worth of content here, however. For context, the project has been the equivalent of several months of full time labour, plus ongoing maintenance as LazyVim itself evolves and updates.
If you have the means, please consider supporting this work. Each purchase or donation has the following effects:
- Encourages me to continue maintaining the book and potentially release new versions as LazyVim evolves.
- Encourages me to create more deep technical content on my blog or take on other book projects in the future.
- Supports continued free access to this book for the folks who do not yet have the means to support me.
If you do not have the means to support me financially, please consider sharing the book. And always consider paying it forward. I wouldn't be where I am today without the numerous people who created free content that I absorbed as a youth. If someone one day says, "My writing is influenced by Dusty Phillips", it will be the best compliment I've ever received.
