This post will help you understand why "extensibility" and "introspectability" are such prominent emacs features even without an emacs lisp background. Bridging the gap from spacemacs or doom emacs to a bespoke configuration wasn't easy for me because I didn’t know how to learn emacs, so I'm going to stumble through one of my own use cases to demonstrate how this process goes if you're peeking in from outside the emacs ecosystem, horrified curious about how this all works.

If you’re a NixOS user, knowing what will change on your system when performing updates can be tricky. We can make the experience better!

You can build your own voice assistant to avoid the questionable privacy consequences of bringing an Alexa or Google Assistant into your home.
