I don't use modal editing, but I'd suggest starting with Evil or the like.

The blessing and curse of emacs is that your editor is now a software development project.

Let this inform your approach - start out with an MVP, see if it solves a problem, then iterate.

I'm working on nitro.bio in Pasadena and would also like to get into the tech scene. Drop me a line if you wanna swap notes.

100% absolutely not what you want, but perhaps what you need - “Gödel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid” is a metabook if there ever was one.

Vercel, netlify, aws amplify, google app engine come to mind. Not sure if they’re strictly better than the setup you describe, but easier to get started.

I could come up with one, but I’m too busy rewriting my config to use a better package manager again.

It’s in a different genre, but check out Her Story. It’s a wonderful game that asks for the same curiosity and creativity from the player that Outer Wilds does.

I help life science companies design, implement, and launch software products. I've worked with companies like Calico Labs and Ginkgo Bioworks and premier research institutions like the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. I've also been published in Nature Genetics.

Happy to work with any tech stack, but am expert in a Postgres/Flask/React stack deployed on either GCP or AWS.

I'm a full stack software engineer who's passionate about the life sciences!

I'm published in Nature Genetics and help maintain a popular DNA sequence viewer.

I've worked with companies like Ginkgo Bioworks, Calico Labs, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

Perhaps you could have your partner set your Apple ID password? Or you could change it to a very long string that is a pain to enter, write it down, and store it in a place where it is mildly inconvenient to access.

Magit made me a better programmer. Learning `git` proper would probably be as good (and certainly get more street cred), but magit was more accessible and more fun to use since I was already emacs-proficient.

> Is it worth putting the effort to learn now?

As a big emacs guy, I say it's only worth putting in the effort if you really enjoy the process of crafting a tool that fits the shape of your mind and bending your mind to fit the shape a tool. I personally get a lot of pleasure out of improving my text editor, but I don't think most people will/do.

Depending on your choice of IDE and your proficiency with vim I think the efficiency gains you'd get from switching to emacs will be relatively slight.
