Emacs 25.1 RC1 10 years ago

I have an elisp function that opens every file in the projects I'm currently working on. I run it when I start a new session.

  1790 buffers        20295782                  1774 files, 1 process

"They take ownership..."

Reminder: Unless you have an actual stake in the company, you do not own anything you produce for the company. Keep that in mind the next time code you worked on causes a 2am production server crash or is responsible for increasing revenue x10. It is not your code that caused the events but the owner's of the company.

For linux environments, instead of darkroom-mode you can put this in your .emacs file to toggle fullscreen:

  ;;; Fullscreen
  (defun switch-full-screen ()
    (interactive)
    (shell-command "wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -btoggle,fullscreen"))

  (global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") 'switch-full-screen)

Also in this post is a video demonstrating multiple people using the same surface table with different keyboards. I find most of the projects in Johnny Lee's posts to be innovating.

I once heard Enron used a similar strategy, although I can't recall the source. They would annually cut their most "unproductive" employees. It turned out that those who remained knew how to work the system and to win at any cost. Hopefully Facebook will fare better.

I agree with this. Dating multiple girls improves your judgment, so when you want to settle down you'll often make the right choice. You won't get "oneitist" and fall for the wrong type of girl.

It's also a big confidence boost too.
