This a post about something near and dear to my heart: Debuggers.

In this post, we are going to explain why you should use a debugger, what they are, and how to set them up in your favorite editor (whether that is vscode, neovim, emacs, or any other editor).

I believe that quality matters and that by understanding this incredible tool you’ll not only have a better time programming, you’ll produce better code which is better for the world.

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that has been building in capability for decades. In the last couple of years has it moved into the mainstream and brings with it an incredible set of changes the likes of which we haven’t seen since the dawn of the internet.

10,000 Monkeys

There’s an old adage that goes something like:

“If an infinite number of monkeys typed on an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite time, they would eventually produce the Bible”.

I’ll update this post periodically to reflect my current tooling and setup.

Emacs, Nix-Darwin, MacOS, and more <2025-02-28 Fri>

Hardware

Computer(s): Macbook Air (Apple Silicon) & X1 Carbon (Thinkpad)

I use both mac and linux pretty regularly, I have them both configured using Nix which allows parity between system configurations. New Apple computers are superb, but I can’t let go of my Thinkpad because I love tinkering on it and I’m sure I’ll sell the macbook one day but keep the thinkpad for many more years.

In this post, I’m going to show you how to setup a blogging workflow using Emacs and other free tools. At the end of this, you will have a blog just like this one and be able to create posts in a matter of keystrokes that get published online without spending a dime.

I don’t really know how to write these kinds of tutorial posts, so I’m just going to get right into it.

Intro

We live in a world dominated by the too-quick-to-offend and the offended-too-quickly.

Reality, however, is multi-faceted, each face colored by individual experience.

Our capacity to understand this nuance has lagged behind our access to virtually infinite information.

The result is a breakdown in society, with sects colored by worldviews orchestrated by an unconscious engagement machine, mechanically feeding us whatever data fuels focus and engagement.

In the light, this technologically doped filtering is a godsend – we can find products we love, information we need, people we enjoy, and perspectives we harbor; we become coddled in an instant with whatever cranial comfort we desire.
