  Emacs is not that hard. You can learn Emacs in one day, every day!

    This isn’t wrong, and it’s funny because it’s true!

      Absolutely! Not making fun, but whenever somebody brings up Emacs in earnest, this is what I think of!

  I’ve been enjoying verb.

    Wow, an org mode rest client; this might be worth switching to! What I like about these is that you end up with documentation in a standard file that can live along with your APIs. Org mode can of course be saved either as org files, or exported as any number of things - whatever your team uses. Ok, time to go bully some vim users.

    quite cool - i think voiden is similar in premise to verb - but it is more easier to manage for non emacs folks. But i’ll check it out - emcas will bring back the ptsd from my phd days of writing my thesis on it :D

      I really think tools like voiden, hurl, and verb make sense. They make it easier to troubleshoot a system later or to share requests with other developers without leaving the repo. The only real challenge becomes handling authentication scenarios without putting secrets in plain text.

      Speaking of writing a thesis, I imagine that leaves plenty of room for PTSD! I personally like the direnv support for emacs much more than other environments, and I’ve become a big fan of ripgrep and fuzzy finding.
