#emacs pros be like...

I was recently trolled that #emacs "is only used by 3% of developers, so is completely irrelevant." There are many good responses, but what would yours be?

Comparing visual git tools -- because how could you compare with #emacs #magit?

To self: do I "fold" cases or do I "flatten" them? language problems in #emacs mnemonics.

I get my emotional vocabulary from #emacs #unicode list

My morning regexp usage: reformatting pgn chess format into latex format. Bonus: using multi-cursors for incrementing numbers. #emacs

There is a productive joy to being able, once again, to go in one keystroke from my browser, to my email, to my daily agenda, to any bookmarks, notes, or current tasks. #emacs #exwm

Ah! I just discovered #emacs OOTBox forward-paragraph for going to the next blank line in code files, where I have big space-divided data structures

suddenly I have all kinds of "mairix" stuff interrupting my #emacs workflow. It's in org and it's in Gnus. What in the world is this?

I just experienced #emacs rectangle-mark-mode for the first time, though I've been using rectangles for a long time. This allows me to make a rectangle easily even when neither first nor the last line are the longest. Nice!

It worked! #EXWM #emacs, entering a standup report. Orgmode:
<f3> (start macro recording)
C-k (cut line, undo to put it back)
<C-x o> (other-window) to Firefox
Paste (yank, C-y), then TAB to go to the next field
<C-x o> (other-window) back to my orgmode file
next-line
<f4> to save the recording
<f4> repeatedly to do all this again.

I didn't expect it to work after the jump to a non-emacs place!

Big yes. #Emacs dired rocks.

emacs has a utility called dired that is a joy to work with. Renaming, moving around files, etc is all trivial with it.

A demonstration of #emacs and #exwm power: I have a PDF with difficult-to-write foreign characters. Record macro: copy my (emacs) PDF selection, switch to other frame and window, paste and restructure the yanked text. Part of my PDF-to-HTML project.

I had no idea . That is awesome

Everyone knows about M-x tetris in #emacs -- but have you ever heard of M-x dunnet? It's an old-school text adventure game.

I have to face it: 3 of 5 days I am not a coder; I spend all day planning, scheduling, answering emails, project meetings, delegating, code review, and training. And at least one more on devops and debugging. It is time I made peace with this fact. #IsThisSeniorDev?

Gratitude 1: #emacs is really good at both emailing and scheduling.

Gratitude 2: It's actually the 6th day where I get some serious coding in. At least, sometimes.

This was the moment I realized I like this guy

I would just like to highlight this key moment from todays keynote. @reClojure #clojure #emacs #theonetrueeditor

Let it be written: Sussman's favorite piece of software of all time is #emacs #reclojure @reClojure
