How does one find a weekend to un-jankify their emacs configuration?

I crap you not, I have a ton of cruft in there from before useful versions of use-package and melpa exist. Now it is Frankenstein monstered in with more modern approaches.

Sigh. If only time grew on trees.

A good friend asks me when I'll be prestigious enough to be the chair. People associate administration as career progression.

My response is "I'd vastly rather go back to being pretenure when I could code more". He still doesn't understand.

@krismicinski
Yup, absolutely.

You'll go through many points like this that require recalibration. Optimize for the parts that are valuable, and minimize the parts that aren't.

Be a good community member. Keep in mind the math around how many reviews you're requiring from the community (and from which community), and at least match that.

Beyond that, you have to have a really good reason based on value to you for doing the reviews.

Academics don't have forced recalibrations often. We have to impose them on ourselves.

I don't know of any research that the pl community has done to make ebpf programming actually good.

There's a massively deployed jit/verified execution environment that is integral to most modern infrastructure, and programming it sucks.

Seems like low-hanging fruit.

Am I missing existing work?
