Apple TV is making me love screensavers again.

Do you guys remember the endless pipes in Windows?

Bring back screensavers!

I’m a huge god-mode user for #Emacs. I love using a mostly modal like interface (I still press ctrl most of the time).

I think because of that I’m just addicted to Hydra now. I love to jump into an interface with singular key presses instead of chaining keybindings over and over.

Here's my commit! github.com/cyrialize/.e...

I have multiple org files for tasks.

`cyr-org-tasks` loads a desktop view of these and calls `hydra-org`, which has commands to switch windows, refile tasks, add new tasks, etc.

I defined a func to insert a task so that I won't exit out of the hydra!

I rediscovered Hydra this past weekend for #Emacs. I combined this with a saved desktop (using ‘desktop-mode’) to open up a window layout for my task files.

I was able to build a nice pseudo task management app! I haven’t pushed the changes yet, but I will soon.

It took trying to make a static site generator to make me realize I should just use an already made static site generator.

I wanted to make one because I found many SSGs to have too many features, but if my home made SSG is like Jekyll without extra features - I’ll just use Jekyll!

when you find a new theme in one place you gotta change it everywhere else.

This includes: your text editor, terminal emulator, computer, and house

It’s tough to create an #Emacs package because every time I have a new idea, I find out it’s already been made (or it has existed in Emacs for 30 years)

I never took dired in #Emacs seriously until now. I apologize dired, I wasn’t familiar with your game!

My keybindings along with dired’s makes moving and deleting files so nice!

I feel like every time I dive into an #Emacs package I find out that it was already in Emacs 30 years ago.

I reinstalled #Emacs Helm after not using it for /years/, I completely forgot about the action sub-menu on items. Honestly, super helpful.

I know you can achieve something similar via Embark - I’ve been meaning to dig into that package more!

Correction: this is an interview posted on Sacha’s blog as the interviewer didn’t have a blog of their own.
This interview of Helm's maintainer, Thierry Volpiatto, by @sachachua.com is one that I mention often to... well everyone! It's wild that one of the most well-known Emacs packages is by a mountain guide in the alps.

I really like #Ruby meta programming capabilities because every single side project I have starts out simple, but then I think “what if I could make the code write the code” or “a DSL would go really nice here”

(I’ve never finished a side project)

Finally learning more #Emacs elisp is bad for me, now I’ll NEVER leave Emacs.

Shout outs to xahlee for amazing #emacs content like this one: xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/...

It’s making me stop being lazy and actual commit to learning some elisp, instead of copy-pasting and then trying whatever works like a mad man

I like that #emacs just inundates you with options for everything. Is it overwhelming sometimes? Yes, totally.

But is it cool to fine tune exactly how Emacs handles and shows white space? Yes, totally!!

Prot is one of my most favorite #emacs people because he consistently puts out amazing content like this: protesilaos.com/codelog/2024...

I especially love using the `after-init` hook instead of just calling the mode. I've already adapted my config to this!

Playing around with corfu in #emacs! I was a big company guy for a long time, it’s fun to see alternatives.

I like that corfu is UI only, hooking into Emacs whereas company is UI and has its own backends.

who knew that reading the #emacs ‘use-package’ documentation is better than just copy-pasting random declarations until you break your config and then just ‘git revert’ everything
