plenty of emacs resources around. i would suggest multi-term for terminals. text file and terminal management is very similar.

working on a game right now. the second to last attempt was in godot 4. it reminded me a lot of flash, especially in 2d mode. to anyone missing flash go checkout godot!

twitch streamers answer thousands of times a day questions about which keyboard they use. programmers are no different. tool focus is a way to fool yourself into thinking all you need to do to level up is go shopping. it’s a comforting delu

ram, disk, and cpu cache all continue to improve. if you live on your computer and can afford to it is absolutely worth to continuously upgrade. donate your old machines to charity! many people can’t afford computers.
