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

#emacs is great at the forgotten art of #macros, as when I need to make events for the next 99 days but then remove weekends. https://orys.us/ug

There are times in #emacs when bisection gets relievingly lucky. Such it was when I found out that my 6m old version of Marginalia was causing emacs to freeze on displaying the variable list. Though it had caused a week of pain, once I got down to init bisection it only took half an hour. #CuttingEdgePains

We chafe at the "impurity of the syntax artifacts that have to be injected to do whitespace editing."

Enjoying catching up on old episodes of the @JacekSchae #Clojurescript Podcast, I enjoyed an insightful interview with the Shaun Labron, author of Parinfer who is apparently no longer on Twitter. Now what I want to know is how SmartParens came about as the #emacs next thing. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s2-e1-lisp-editing-with-shaun-lebron/id1461500416?i=1000448529731

I've always been fascinated to hear @stuarthalloway talk about using an #emacs environment that changes once/decade. Enjoying catching up on @JacekSchae #Clojurescript Podcast, Great interview about his insight into Spartan IDE and clean mental attics. https://soundcloud.com/user-959992602/s2-e2-repl-with-stuart-halloway

Modern day digital struggles: "listening" online includes checking Telegram * 2, Git*, Slack, MatterMost, Twitter * 3, Mastodon * 3, RSS feeds, Reddit, Zulip, and every once in a while, voicemail and text messages. I can use #emacs and #email to reduce the surface area of 8 of those, so that's something to stem the flood.

Gotta say, I really love my #emacs buffler setup with exwm, helping me easily get around my buffer groups. This takes care of what some people use a desktop, task bar, or dashboard for.

I love #RSS #feeds, and read them using the excellent #emacs #elfeed. WordPress creates RSS feeds by default, and if you know the trick it's easy to subscribe. But can I suggest people make more obvious links to these? What is an entry-level RSS reader you would recommend for subscribing to RSS feeds, and a pitch for why people should know about this option?

Email is something of a pleasure with #emacs + notmuch + gnus + getmail. A dozen addresses all funneled and sorted in one mail client, quickly created, replied, removed, searched, or added to my daily agenda. After years I would feel handicapped to go back to a web interface.

My fingers slipped and #emacs #orgmode asked me for my latitude and longitude. I got scared and C-g out of there, but someday, I'll figure out why it did that...

I have my student employees daily work hours in my orgmode agenda. It is easy to turn an a filter to show just those entries for the day, so that I know when I can meet them online. #emacs #orgmode win!
