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

Keyboard Macros are misunderstood in #emacs.
If you only use them for light text editing, then you're missing out on its most powerful feature of all:
The ability to record and play back nearly anything. Like your fav. window config.

#Emacs's minibuffer completion is either something you put up with, or you abandon it for another completion framework.
But it's seen significant improvements in the last 10 years.
It's more feature rich and customizable than ever before.

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.

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

If you use #emacs and shadow-cljs, please help the project by reviewing and contributing patches to the CIDER documentation (@thheller isn't an Emacs user, and needs help!)
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
