Taming, as in highlighting the +pain points I had with them, why I found them to be a pain point, and +then offering a solution. Might not be the best solution, but one that +worked out remarkably well for me: writing a lot of words in Org mode to +explain my thinking, for future me, sprinkling some code blocks here and +there, and holistically assembling them into their tangled out form. + +Not a very in-depth talk, not a one-size-fits-all kind of solution. The +goal is to show that you don't necessarily have to adapt to languages, +or frameworks. With a little bit of care, and a whole lot of words your +future self will thank you for, you can bend them to your will. So the +computer will work for you, rather than the other way around. + +Because Emacs and Org mode can bend time and space - at least in a way, +and you don't even need M-x butterfly! + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2023/info/taming-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2023/info/taming-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + -- cgit v1.2.3
