@jonny Yep, I end up using the source link quite often, or just generally flailing around a lot--It's hard to find stuff. I thought I would get used to the organization but haven't so far.

@BigEatie I've used perspective (one of the variants I forget which) for a decent amount time before deciding I didn't like it because (iirc) it made it hard to use multiple project files in the same frame. I don't use window registers either though, although I haven't really used them much. In general my window layouts are simple so I don't have much need to save and restore layouts.

Currently, I have a normal buffer select that shows only the project's (consult-project-buffer). A modifier of that gives me all buffers (consult-buffer). I can use that to access buffers from other projects I have accessed in the same session, but also helps keeps me from accidentally working on the same named file from another project. This seems to be working reasonably well.

Sorry I didn't really answer your question, but this might be another possible answer to the choice of how to do things.

@cliffle I’d call that a typoo.

@BigEatie Time saved long term is non-existent on my list of reasons why I use Emacs and before that Vim. At the top is the lack of mouse switching I need to edit text with either editor. With Emacs I'd add the ease and power of customizing it, which is primarily the reason I switched.

I suspect it is not a net savings though, but I don't really care if it is or isn't. I think it saved my sanity though, that seems more important.

@freemo Yep, but unfortunately a widely held belief, sometimes only implicitly held, but held nonetheless.

Arguments about the "realness" of the wealth aside, most of the envy in the original thread is from (IMO) a zero-sum mentality, in other words the stock wealth is at the expense of the rest of us, like there's only so much pie and these guys are taking my piece too. I always find that idea amusing and wrong.
@Strandjunker

@carnage4life I just think about engineers that get to work on problems right away

@freemo we’re gonna need a regex soon

@shuttle Too bold. There’s a lot of inertia in this industry. I will even guess that Rust won’t be the majority language in green field projects either in that time frame.

@freemo born on a leap year?

Someday…

@freemo Interesting demon BTW. Maybe he should be the patron demon of programmers or STEM: from the interwebs:

"He is a demon of the First Hierarchy who seduces by means of laziness, vanity, and rationalized philosophies. To others, he teacheth mathematical sciences and handicrafts. He doth make men invisible, lead them to hidden treasures, and give them power over serpents. He teacheth secrets. Every question formulated to him sees truthful answer." 😆

@freemo Except for the movie writers. The center is the seal of Astaroth, I had fun looking that up. The outer part is apparently gibberish used in the Bedknobs movie. Did they call the seal by name in the movie? (I have not seen it)

@freemo On your interpretation: perhaps. I find it hard to get those subtleties via text interactions (and irl as well), so I try to assume the best until they are blunt about something. Seems to keep things on the rails, but it's hard at times.
