I see people advocating for writing a FAQ, but I really struggle to write one from scratch. The best FAQs are written as a response to, well, frequent questions. How do you populate the initial FAQ?

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'm amused (and kinda surprised) to learn that shells have their own equivalent of blink tags, a blink escape code! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17439482/how-to-make-a-text-blink-in-shell-script Seems equally annoying, I can't see a good use for it.
