Trey Jackson writes Life Is Too Short For Bad Code, a personal blog at trey-jackson.blogspot.com about programming and productivity. Since 2008, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times. The last post was in 2018, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in an HN thread on useful Emacs features, this Blogspot post is an Emacs tip about cua-mode. One commenter cites it while comparing cua-mode's rectangle support favourably to another option.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Random musings about programming, software, technical interviews, and of course Emacs - a tip every week for new and experienced users.
What Hacker News says?
I find cua-mode's rectangle support superior. http://trey-jackson.blogspot.com/2008/10/emacs-tip-26-cua-mo...
