I love the idea of Emacs (especially of Doom!) I’ve played around with Doom a bit a few months ago and it was enjoyable to use, if a bit difficult to learn. Unfortunately, getting native compilation to work on Mac OS was making my install really brittle, but I might give it a second try after your comment.

(Almost to embarrassed to ask a question s as simple as this, but here we go…)

I hear a lot about shell scripts and how useful they are, but my expertise in Bash is pretty much limited—know I can pipe cat into vim, basic things like that—could you share some examples of what you can automate with shell scripts that you personally use often?

(just kicking things off here)

learning Vim was really great for me; I don’t think I’ll ever learn everything it has to offer but picking up a new shortcut is always so much fun, especially if the code isn’t the most exciting.

The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn’t be contributing to their advertising revenue.
