I always wonder how people evolve from fiddling with package configurations to using emacs at this level. My stunbling block is not so much knowing Elisp (I’m sure I can stumble through that) but just knowing the internal architecture and how emacs works overall. Has anyone come across a good guide for hacking emacs? I know there is the manual. Perhaps I just need to look at that again and get going.

Emacs Lisp Intro and Elisp reference manual, which come with Emacs. Former is concise and more suited for configuration, latter is for package developers.
