> using plz

I'm guessing you're going to LLM cloud APIs rather than agents?

In elisp, it loves to create a gazillion local vars, unnecessarily nested when/if blocks, mix patterns, alists, plists, hashtables… Having said that, if you feed it your own style guide (maybe AGENTS.md), it can often keep some of that loopyness in check.

Emacs and Vim in the Age of AI It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future. – Yogi Berra

I jotted down some thoughts on the future of editors like #Emacs and #Vim in the age of AI batsov.com/articles/202...

I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on the subject as well.

Hi Londoners! A little experiment (nifty.day) to aggregate times of all sort of things near you. How covered is your borough? Also please help me get the word out 🙏 #london #gym #yoga #activities #wellbeing #workout #gigs #comedy #londoners

How I use AI agents in emacs: @xenodium.bsky.social's agent-shell + persp-mode (project workspaces) + git worktrees. I have a dashboard that lets me create/switch between workspaces and agents. Emacs is the ideal agentic coding environment as far as I'm concerned.

Introducing winpulse Hard to say officially, but I've been primarily using Emacs for roughly a couple of decades. Maybe my eyesight isn't what it used to be, or maybe I've...

There's a package now ;) xenodium.com/introducing-...

Does this package already exist? I'd like my #emacs buffer windows temporarily highlighted as I cycle through them. I have this roughly working, but can't help but think this already exists somewhere. #oss #opensource

Writing experience: My decade with Org While I missed Emacs Carnival's Take two, with this month's prompt being Writing Experience, I figured I may have a thing or two to share about my Org...

@xenodium about his decade of using #Emacs #Orgmode:

Great insights on his personal workflow and setup. Nice to get some ideas to improve your personal #PIM setup as well.
