I programmed in Emacs in a myriad of different languages, I used it to write my thesis, to write my homework and later to grade them. I’ve used it to publish countless blog articles, wiki pages and technical documents.

I read that I was hired at my first job from en email received inside Emacs, I’ve used it to send countless emails to colleagues, employers and business partners. I planned both my personal and professional life inside it, I’ve used it to track the time spent doing a certain task when no such software was yet available.

Most of the time I’ve spent in front of a computer over the last 20 years, was inside Emacs. Happy Birthday, Emacs! You’re the best thing that happened in the computing world.
