I moved into management 5 years back. And since then I have reduced the amount of coding to a degree that I don't write anything that goes to production. Most of my coding is scripts to automate something or discovering something personally. I juggle between Emacs, vim, and VS Code for many of those; VS code especially if I want to navigate code. But Emacs is my daily driver. I use plain text files to keep track of things, write meeting notes, etc. The one editor that I keep coming back to is Emacs. May be it is me, but its flexibility is unbeaten. And as strange it sounds to say this these days, but Emacs is light. So much so than VScode. It isn't vi/vim, but it is snappy to get started.

Just recently I wanted the M-x shell to support OSC 8 links(you can click them to go to a file), and all it required was to write a small function to do so. This function goes into the thousand odd lines of lisp that I have curated over a 16 years. It is an editor that keeps evolving.

Orgmode does that.

Not necessarily a technical writing book, but one for writing non fiction: On Writing Well, The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction by William Zinsser would be a very good read for everyone who wants to write.

I bought my iPad Pro 12" given the form factor in 2020. Here's my two cents on coding on it.

It's a brilliant form factor for writing. Get a Bluetooth keyboard and place the iPad vertically it's perfect to write with. I also hoped to code on it. I do connect to a raspberry pi to run Emacs. Coding on it depends on what you want to create. If it is backend servers, parsers, or anything that can be tested on your remote machine it works really well. The moment you want to do web development or create iOS apps you hit a wall. The form factor is great but the software is terrible for coding. Great for consuming, and occasionally for some productive work.

As a general guide I comment the why, now the what. The what can be generally understood by reading the code. But the why is not so easy.

I have a custom built system: https://github.com/satran/edi It does two things I have longed in other systems:

- uses plain text files as storage

- embedded option to run shell scripts while rendering. Eg `!date +%D` would execute date and insert contents.

The part of using text files was that I can leverage unix tools. This allowed me to grep for todos, follow up things. Keep a format that works for me.

To your question about widgets, it mainly renders Markdown dolls so adding HTML should be simple.

:) well hope my Go skills are better than my searching skills. It was a fun project.

Author here. Just out of curiosity, why isn’t there much talk about serving simple sites from memory? Usually people talk about serving static HTML using NGINX and let the kernel page cache handle it. I wouldn’t assume it is complexity. As some one here, https://kieran.ie/loading-a-website-from-ram/, used a ram disk and NGINX to serve it.

Thanks, sadly i can't now add a link to this. When I edit it the URL field is blocked.

I have heard people say Emacs is an OS, just needs a decent editor. To me it is a textual interface, or a text based toolkit very much similar to Gtk/Cocoa/Qt. It provides you with an environment on which you can build upon with Lisp.

The RFC doesn’t state any other format. I believe google servers are not complaint yet.

I use a text file named "read". I store links as a list. When I have read them and it was worth storing I move it to a subsection called read and write notes or copy content if necessary. It looks somewhat like this:

    # To Read
    - [ ] [Ask HN: How do you keep track of articles you want to read?](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17637835)
    
    # Read
    - [x] [why children aren’t behaving and what you can do about it](https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/06/02/611082566/why-children-arent-behaving-and-what-you-can-do-about-it)
    This is a short interview with the author of the book “The Good News About Bad Behavior“. It’s interesting how the author talks about disciplining kids.

The good thing about plain text is you can create any organizing method you like. If you want tags just create them :) If an article was useless I remove it. It uses basic github flavoured markdown format that I can render if I want to.

Someday I plan to automate it using a firefox plugin.

Focus on results. I'm leading a team that wasn't delivering for quite some months. We had couple of sessions on why we didn't achieve our results. We used the 5 why method to find the root cause of problems. Once we tracked the root of the issue, long pull requests became more manageable, we started communicating better. We focussed on what we produce and eventually were able to achieve our goals. Smart Leaders, Smarter Teams[1] is a good book to read. His white paper is a shorter read with similar topics: https://www.csu.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/917018/Ei...

I log everything worth remembering and some. Whether it is something I did, a link I want to read, or something I bought. I use a file called log.txt. It is synced across all my devices. I have a very minimal format that goes like this:

    # 16/07/2018
    - read about did.txt on HN
    - [ ] write about log.txt on HN
    - cost: 2.9€ coffee at 93

I grep for - [ ] to see my incomplete tasks, and add an x like - [x] when the task is complete. When the file grows large I move months to separate files.

I tried Evernote, onenote, physical notebooks and a hundred other tools. This is one that I settled on. All I need is a text editor on any platform.

Back to the log, there are several times I have visited it to find out what happened during the day. I use it at times as a review of how well the week went and what I could improve on.
