I am not an organized person. The system I use to organize my life is based around loosely categorized piles. However, I find literate programming fascinating and I decided try the literate configuration approach to Emacs. Thank you to all the individuals who have crafted some amazing literate configs that I have the benefit of stealing bits and pieces from. People like:
and many others I’m sure I’ve forgotten about. Also, thank you Henrik Lissner for the time and effort you have spent developing the delightful Doom Emacs. I use primary use Emacs as a note taking platform for work and D&D campaigns. From time to time I’ll do some actually coding in it but generally speaking I’m someone who aspires to be a programming hobbyist.
What you are about to witness is a perpetual work in progress. It won’t be pretty, but it might be interesting.
