@languagesimp Hey, just finished your Language Learning Guide. Took just over a day to get through it. I like that it reinforces the value of the Natural Method and is aggressive about avoiding over-complicating the learning process.
Going to give it a shot! Thanks also for all your entertaining videos over the years.
@fosskers Vindarel help me out on the Discord. Turns out I didn't read the docs for cl-dbi close enough! Needed to add the driver for my db in the system def.

Emacs users, what are some behaviors that were confusing to you when you first got started with Emacs?
For me, repeat actions, fat-fingering something like KILL-BUFFER, toggling READ-ONLY-MODE, and typing something that caused an unknown mini buffer/prompt to appear.
@killian_arts I've never used `load` or `compile-file`.
Always `defpackage`, as `uiop:define-package` isn't technically portable. That is to say, not all compilers bundle a uiop that has it, so if you write a library that needs it, you're writing code that isn't cross-compatible.
I have some questions for my Common Lisp bros about this blog going around: cdegroot.com/programming/co…
How often do you use LOAD or COMPILE-FILE, rather than some slime or sly command in Emacs?
And do you prefer UIOP:DEFINE-PACKAGE or the standard DEFPACKAGE?
