Gödel, Escher, Elisp: The Beauty of Macros

New post! "Emacs Teaches Emacs: The Missing README" www.chiply.dev/post-ask-emacs I wanted to make this shorter version as I felt it would be more intuitive for beginners, who are most likely to benefit from learning Emacs's auto-discovery features. #emacs #foss #tutorial #software #programming

Looking to #connect with fellow #emacs and #softwarearchitecture professionals. If you love this stuff as much as I do, then #letsconnect!
Has anyone else using #emacs wanted the status bars (mode-line, header-line, tab-line, tab-bar) to be multi-line? Similarly, have any users ever wanted the margin to be multi-column? I'm working on a couple extensions to solve, and wanted to assay the community to see how prevalent this issue is

An empirical thing I've noticed is that programming skills often correlate a lot with how much use you can get out of llms. bad programmers seem uninterested in library building, they usually approach problems by asking the llm to one-shot the output (and end up with slop) CS is about abstraction.
