Here's a few minor tweaks I've made to my Emacs setup recently. Limiting enabled tree-sitter modes After reading Rahul's post Emacs 31 Is Around the Corner: The Changes I'm Already Daily Driving I simplified my setup and turned on all the t…
I've used projectile ever since I created my own Emacs config. I have a vague memory choosing it because some other package only supported it. (It might have been lsp-mode, but I'm not sure.) Anyway, now that I'm trying out eglot, again, I

A couple of weeks ago I needed a small, hopefully temporary, service at work. It bridges a gap in functionality provided by a legacy system and the functionality desired by a new system. The legacy system is cumbersome to work with, so we t…
At work I sometimes need to deal with large and deep JSON objects where I'm only interested in a few of the values. If all the interesting values are on the top level, then aeson have functions that make it easy to implement FromJSON's pars…
