Emacs trivia: the list of buffers used to be exposed to elisp as buffer-alist. It's now C-only because it's a footgun if you mutate it.

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 wanted Emacs in this case.)
I've started keeping a list of particularly interesting bugs and patches that I've worked on: https://github.com/Wilfred/interesting-code
The time that I once removed *a single closing paren* in Emacs is still my favourite.
I've been compilation buffers in Emacs recently and I really appreciate the error and warning counts shown in the modeline.
I've added the equivalent feature to deadgrep: it shows result counts! Really useful when you're doing big refactorings.
