I wrote a fairly similar take on this a few years ago (without having read the original book mentioned here) -- https://explog.in/notes/debugging.html

Julia Evans also has a very nice zine on debugging: https://wizardzines.com/zines/debugging-guide/


I love Julia Evans’ zine! Bought several copies when it came out, gave some to coworkers and donated one to our office library.


Congratulations -- and thank you! I've been playing with Hy on and off (tried to do transformers with it, and then released https://github.com/kunalb/orphism written in hy). Time to pick it up again and take it for a spin


I have a small python (hy) package which extends the idea to horizon charts https://github.com/kunalb/orphism


Iain M Banks, the culture series touches on immortality and choosing / not choosing it. [edit: didn't read carefully enough. Sadly, he won't be available for interviewing]


Also the little schemer series, which just expect you to work things out by hand.


I just use emacs + org mode -> org-publish to generate my site [1] from org-mode with some customizations; it's been the most flexible and fun way to build a site I've had across all my attempts so far, particularly given that I can go meta and also publish the htmlized raw org files at the same time [2].

I'm a vim user, but org mode is one of the things that I really like the sound of from emacs.

For vim, I use vimwiki[0] in (github flavour) markdown[1] mode, and also publish the entire site to HTML. I really just use it for notes, rather than an entire website, but still, one could.

Ha, that's timely. I started writing an online tutorial just today and settled on org-mode. Reading your config is immensely helpful. Thanks!
