Great post on using EIEIO in BBDB in elisp: https://ericabrahamsen.net/tech/2016/feb/bbdb-eieio-object-oriented-elisp.html (whilst CLOS is common in CL, EIEIO usage is rare IME)

Claude asked me a question today: was I looking for an Emacs plugin (because I was talking about elisp) or a Rust program (because I have configured Rust preferences)?
I'm really impressed, it's rare to see LLMs ask follow-up questions.

I've been learning some Common Lisp by writing some simple JSON munging programs. I'm sure it's not best practice — I should probably deserialise to CLOS automatically — but it's a nice way to get comfortable with the basics.
It feels weird deliberately ignoring helpers though.
GIMP is huge tool that I certainly haven't mastered, but it's so useful to have around.
I used it this week to convert images from obscure formats to common ones. It's a great swiss army knife and runs everywhere.
