- TOGoS 5y agoGigascale software projects with thousands of engineers and a hundred layers of abstraction (half of which nobody understands and they only work simultaneously 2 days out of the year) got everyone burnt out. Messing around in bespoke, home-grown computing environments made out of text files that you wrote yourself is grounding, like growing your own vegetables, and we all need that more than ever these days.
- User23 5y agoI’ve been using Emacs for the better part of three decades and it’s never had a stronger community. It may not be the most popular thing, but it draws extremely high quality people and that’s paid great dividends for the user community. And piggybacking off the LSP has been a great advance too.
