Editing Code in Emacs
When you write code, you want to focus on the code, not on the text of the code.

The second comes with practice and with consistency (i.e. not changing your config too much too…

Poor man's bitemporal data system in SQLite and Clojure
On trying to mash up SQLite with ideas stolen from Accountants, Clojure, Datomic, XTDB, Rama, and Local-first-ers, to satisfy Henderson's Tenth Law.
