+# Questions
+
+
+## Q6: How would you introduce other classmates to emacs? Meaning what's the "gateway" drug to emacs?+1+1+1
+
+
+### Would probably start with doom or spacemacs
+
+
+### try to find their reason for using emacs
+
+
+## Q5: What made you use Vim in the first place? Were you looking for a note-taking system in plain text (such as Markdown), or were you using it for programming?+1+1
+
+
+### Used vim first time mainly for programming not for Markdown.
+
+
+## Q4: I tend to think that life in school-age is somehow simple to organize since categories are easy to distinguish (years/classes, hobbies, &#x2026;) in contrast to business life (many projects in parallel with many touch-points in-between them). From your point of view: do I have wrong memories on my time in school or did school change that much?
+
+
+### School makes it easier to have a structured system.
+
+
+## Q3: Assuming you keep real time notes during your lessons how do you manage to keep up with the lecturer's speed. I can write latex fragments pretty fast but I am not yet at the point that I can keep up with them. What are the tricks/snippets you use? Oh and do you have a git repo with your Emacs dots that we can see?
+
+
+### Types pretty fast (~110 wpm); for math/science uses cdlatex, yasnippet expansion, and latex fragments
+
+
+### Emacs config! <https://piercegwang.github.io/emacsd/init>
+
+
+## Q2: What do your friends think :) ? (Do you collaborate with your friends?)
+
+
+### Overwhelmed them by the positive experience at first :). Now that the configuration is somewhat stable Emacs doesn't come up as often in discussions, though. [someone can probably come up with a better summary of this answer]
+
+
+### The general concensus is that it's an amazing piece of software, but they think it's too complicated for them to use. I think they also still have PTSD from the initial days when I was talking about Emacs **all** the time (whooops)
+
+
+## Q1: Do you use Emacs for school assignments?
+
+
+### answered in talk: yes, org-mode, export to latex -> PDF
+
+
+### one org-mode template file with latex-fragments that is used for exporting
+
+
+# Notes
+
+
+## Discovered Emacs from: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWD1Fpdd4Pc>
+
+
+## Tried various note taking tools - settled on Org mode in Emacs.
