An interesting post about workflow optimization.

Let’s see how it compares to what I do…

1. Jordan Cutler (the author) uses: #zsh autosuggestions, aliases & scm_breeze to manage git faster
   I use: #magit

2. JC uses: VS Code go to definition, location history & #copilot
   I use: M-x evil-go-to-definition (defers to xref with #lsp); swiper, multiple windows, evil motions and other navigation stuff; sometimes #copilot.
   I should probably look into the mark ring.

3. JC uses: #Notion to make learning notes
   I use: #orgroam, although I don’t store much programming stuff there.

4. JC uses: #Todoist to implement inbox for tasks
   I use: #orgmode and capture templates

5. JC uses: #CleanShot, a commercial screenshot app for MacOS
   I use: uuh, how come #emacs doesn’t have a screenshot tool? I use Flameshot and OBS.

6. JC uses: #1Password, a commercial (subscription-based) password manager
   I use: #passwordstore, pass.el and my emacs package that types passwords with xdotool

7. JS uses: Rectangle, a WM for MacOS
   I use: #EXWM

Yeah, I guess that’s about as much as one can get for Emacs without Emacs :D
