My Kinesis has gone a bit weird since I filled it with coffee. Still works most of the time though. You can fit quite a lot of coffee in them.

my favourite thing is when people accidentally check their license file into version control

Don't you paste your license into a box? How would that get checked in

it saves it to disk if you paste a valid license + checks for it on startup

if you're satisfied with emacs stay with emacs

i switched because my emacs configuration was frustrating me and instead of declaring config bankruptcy and loving with it nonstop for a week i decided to see if i could get used to sublime

and i could!

It's probably because of all the money big pharma has spent making the world believe that generic drugs are bad drugs.

its generic b/c it isn't any different than any other shitware text editor. you can do less stuff in it than vim and a box that asks for money probably keeps popping up

the thing is there's a tradeoff for everything. emacs is super customizable and loving awesome for everything, but that maintenance has a price, and making sure that configuration has some level of consistency across machines has a price, and if you rely on stuff on github or the package repo and you can't access the internet to install that poo poo, then that has a price. and it takes up a lot of space in your head. and if you choose to hitch your poo poo to emacs, you have to accept that universal support for multi-threading is not going to be seen maybe in your lifetime. so idunno. as long as you're getting poo poo done.

the part when you hit -t and mistype a filename and it thinks extra hard to figure out what you could possibly mean instead of doing that in a thread so you can backspace it and try again

at my last job one dude spent like 80% of his time writing lisp to make the rest of the devs more efficient because they'd standardized on emacs. I dont really know if it was a net gain over that dude just writing code and everyone being slightly less efficient or what but i gotta say that watchin those dudes jump around in the code and refactor poo poo and what all was pretty cool, or at least about as cool at that sort of activity can be.
