System Crafters

If you're interested in learning how to use and configure Emacs from the ground up, check out the Emacs From Scratch series I started about a month ago. We make new episodes live on YouTube every Friday! youtube.com/watch?v=74zOY-…

I used vanilla emacs when I started with it 15 years ago. Then I announced init.el bankruptcy and used Spacemacs for a long time. The time has come to go back to vanilla though! I am following awesome @SystemCrafters videos and I think I will make it through this time :D

Who are the top voices in/around emacs these days? Asking for a pod...

To Emacs users who haven't become comfortable with Emacs Lisp yet: How much would your Emacs experience improve if you knew how to write Emacs Lisp code at an intermediate level? Do you have something specific in mind that you'd do with it? Feel free to reply via DM! #emacs

@dhh Clearly it should be Emacs on the right side.

Vscode is totally fine, but this is just a dumb misapplication of the bellcurve. At Rails World, Vscode had something 90% marketshare. It's the overwhelming default. And good on MS for capturing that! (But rate of vim usage amongst the best programmers I know is much higher).

A computer you're not empowered to fix is destined for the trash dump.

@PabloBernardoTW If you are just starting out, might be worth trying Doom Emacs first to get a sense of what is possible with Emacs, them eventually make your own vanilla config once you know which packages or features you like

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll experiment with some alternatives to Evil Mode for modal editing in Emacs! Join us at 4PM UTC on YouTube or Twitch: - youtube.com/live/MPSkyfOp5… - twitch.tv/SystemCrafters #gnu #emacs #editing #linux #freesoftware

Wrong time advertised on the tweet, it's 3PM UTC! Time changes :)

🔴 Today on System Crafters Live, we will be exploring the potential of AI assistants in Emacs! We'll integrate OpenAI's GPT-4 and GitHub Copilot into Emacs to find out if they can revolutionize your workflow. Join us at 4PM UTC on YouTube or Twitch: youtube.com/live/JImYEdqVQ…

Today I finished the Emacs from Scratch series. Thanks @SystemCrafters for this whole series, without it my setup wouldn't be so good and I wouldn't have enough to understand and solve things.

On today's stream, we'll be discussing why Mastodon and ActivityPub are better for Emacs users and configuration hackers! Join us live today, 11/25 @ 4PM UTC. See you there! twitch.tv/SystemCrafters youtu.be/tsmrjlEeFqI

@pocmatos I only have my personal account there: @daviwil" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fosstodon.org/@daviwil Trying to avoid fragmenting things there like I did on Twitter :)

@SystemCrafters Where's SystemCrafters on Mastodon?

As I mentioned on the stream yesterday, there is a growing Mastodon community for Emacs at the emacs.ch instance! If you're interested in trying out Mastodon as a Twitter alternative, you'll have a great time there.

I have an existing account on the Fosstodon instance but you can still follow me with an Emacs instance account! twitter.com/daviwil/status…

If I were to give a talk about Emacs at NeovimConf, what do you think it should be about? Serious suggestions only, this is not a joke :) neovimconf.live

Got tired of writing queries for #emacs mu4e using strings. It's uncouth and un-lisp-like. Thus, mu4e-query, that lets you write queries using s-expressions: github.com/mickeynp/mu4e-… Keen on feedback.

Join us LIVE today, Nov 18, as I try to convert my Emacs-driven literate system configuration to Guix Home! This should be a lot of fun 😎 Stream starts at 4PM UTC on YouTube and twitch.tv/SystemCrafters youtu.be/0C16LLHGYzk #guix #emacs #lisp @GuixHpc

@antonioJASR @ThePrimeagen @sudobunni Attendees would probably wonder why my Neovim looks really weird

@ThePrimeagen @sudobunni I would be nice to have @SystemCrafters there

Neovimconf 2022 IS HAPPENING!!! neovimconf.live to register / call for speakers!

This month I'm joining the #GitHubGameOff game jam, making a 2D platformer with my own Lisp and game engine. I'll be live-coding on the @FluxHarmonic Twitch channel in 15min: twitch.tv/FluxHarmonicLi… Let's jam on a game to @whitebataudio synthwave 🎮 #gamedev #livecoding #lisp

@ThePrimeagen Hey Prime, I heard there's this cool new editor called Emacs, you should try it. I've been told it's really awesome for JavaScript development...

i use neovim, btw
