Team for 10 years then switched to team , another 10

Through 10 years of I gained a literal feel for Lisp. After that 10 years, has now cured my left arm strain caused by holding down modifier keys.

but I'm not religious about it — sometimes a little vim won't do one any harm.

Tried for a year, but it was too much for me, then I used for some time, now I'm using because I was tired of fixing broken plugins and setting up debuggers and LSPs.

Started with vim but felt limited, especially when doing heavy Julia visualisation work. Now in emacs and it's been smooth-sailing. Also, emacs + typst is amazing.

you can now microblog about your to-dos! The syntax is:

something #todo list
[x] my todo checked item
[ ] my other item
