Happy people tell stories about a horrible life with a smile on their face
@ms I use it for a lot of things. Everything from taking notes while doing research, keeping track of TODO lists etc (I don't use agenda, just like the convenience of having a keybind to mark things as done and the markup ability for bold/emphasized text, and even math equations with LaTeX). I also use it for literate programming examples and tutorials, because org-babel is just so darn good. I also use org-mode for writing posts to my blog.
TL;DR: It's my go-to when plain text just doesn't cut it.
I have a few projects I switch between based on how much time I have and where my interests lie.
My most recent is a from-scratch compiler for a made-up language, Intercept, written in C with no dependencies (apart from libc, of course). I'm really proud of this one, and have even been lucky enough to work with other people on it.
And then there's my text editor, which is an homage to Emacs. I just have learned so much from Emacs and like it so much that I had to make my own. At this point it's got a working SDL2 and OpenGL backend, as well as tree-sitter syntax highlighting, and, of course, is extensible through LITE LISP, the built-in programming language.
Finally, my pride and joy, LensorOS. I started this project when I first started learning C++, and through it I have learned amazing things about how computers actually work, from hardware to kernels to userspace.
Just wanted to say, this is a really good idea for a thread! I really enjoy seeing all these amazing projects from everybody
