What spiega is about

emacs

Emacs is the main software I use since 2002. You never feel you understand it enough and every time I tried something different I really couldn't perceive the advantage and went back to emacs. I even asked claude/cursor what would be the best tool for writing software with interactive sessions, organize your workflow as per org mode, coordinate the agents and act on the system at the same time and the bot responded: keep using emacs. LLMs helped me to improve the way I use it and now it's hard to exit it since all the agents, programs and news are integrated here and the different outputs get piped together.
