Notes

Emacs

I use Emacs quite a bit. It's not to everyone's taste, and that's fine. I use org mode for task tracking and keeping notes. For coding I use a mixture of Emacs and Visual Studio, a bit clunky but it's my preference.

Packages

These are some Emacs packages that I use and would recommend.

Org Mode

I use Org mode exensively to keep track of tasks and keep notes.

Projectile will treat a folder containing a .git folder as a project. I mainly use Projectile for the file opening support.

I had some problems with string-trim, which was solved by adding ( require 'subr-x ) to my init.el file.
