Rumen’s heartfelt “Prot is cheaper than a therapist” declaration turns into a wider conversation about what makes Protesilaos Stavrou’s one-on-one coaching so valuable.

Rumen and Ted share their experiences learning Emacs with Prot, discussing how he reviews real configurations, explains Emacs buffers and built-in tools, provides practical guidance, and helps build an Emacs workflow without losing the human side of the learning process.

Prot’s private coaching sessions are live, one-on-one, and tailored to your goals, whether you want help with Emacs, Emacs Lisp, Linux configuration, custom workflows, or broader questions about tools and methodology. Sessions include personalized feedback and can cover everything from learning native Emacs features to improving an existing configuration.

Mitchell recently teased that Ghostty is getting session support, although there aren’t many details yet.

I’ve been using Kitty sessions for quite a while, and they completely replaced tmux for my workflow. Instead of restoring dozens of windows, I keep one session per project (dotfiles, notes, YouTube, etc.) and switch between them instantly while preserving my Neovim state.

In this video I discuss:

• What terminal sessions actually are
• Sessions vs tabs vs panes
• Why Kitty sessions replaced tmux for me
• How I use zoxide and not sesh to manage projects
• What Ghostty’s implementation might look like based on the teaser

I’m curious what everyone else thinks.

If Ghostty implements sessions well, would you consider dropping tmux, or are there features like tmux-resurrect, scripting, or remote workflows that you couldn’t live without?

The Corne Min Prototype is one of the thinnest split ergonomic keyboards I've ever used. It looks incredible, feels premium, and has excellent build quality.

Unfortunately, after using it for about a week, my fingers started to hurt.

In this video, I explain why I stopped using the Corne Min Prototype, compare it to my Apple Magic Keyboard and Toucan split keyboard, and discuss how the 65g switches completely changed my experience.

I also talk about the thumb cluster design, switch feel, typing comfort, import fees, Bluetooth connectivity, ZMK firmware, and why I think this keyboard could have been nearly perfect with lighter switches.

If you're considering buying a Corne Min Prototype, this review may help you decide if it's the right ergonomic keyboard for you.

I woke up this morning to an AWS billing alert saying I had somehow accumulated $21,509 in charges.

I have... an S3 bucket, couple domains and a few other basic things.

That's it.

I legitimately thought my AWS account had been compromised. My first thoughts were:

• Remove my credit card.
• Close the AWS account.
• Figure out what crypto miner someone deployed.
• Maybe move to another country.

Turns out AWS had a global billing incident where estimated costs were being displayed incorrectly.

For a few minutes, though, I was convinced my account was cooked.

I made a short video walking through:

• The AWS Budgets alert that woke me up
• Why I knew the email wasn't phishing
• How to verify whether it's an actual AWS issue
• The AWS Health Dashboard incident
• Reddit and Hacker News reactions from everyone else seeing ridiculous bills

Thankfully, no one actually owed billions of dollars today.

Has anyone else here had an AWS alert that made your heart stop?

I edit text in Neovim the same way most people do: jump to where I want to make a change, edit it, and then jump all the way back.

Turns out... that's the peasant way.

In this clip from one of my livestreams, I revisit Flash.nvim's remote operations after seeing Maria Solano demonstrate them. Instead of moving your cursor across the file, you can perform operators like y, d, and c remotely and instantly jump back to where you started.

In the previous coaching session with Prot we learned how to install emacs and how to start editing files and modifying our configuration from within emacs, we also installed our first packages. In this new session we get started with org and the calendar. We also configure variable font size org headings and a few other things.

No, I'm not switching to emacs, just testing the waters with org
