I wish I had read this article in 2012. Unfortunately, I was introduced to Emacs in 2016 and only started using it in 2021. I lost 9 years! It is my favorite piece of software :)

This article has an interesting perspective. But, beyond Emacs built-in documentation, my favorite content to learn Emacs is the book Mastering Emacs and the System Crafters' YouTube Channel.

Oh my. I really genuinely tried to watch it... But it's impossible for me to not fall asleep after 20min. The guy on the channel really should invest in some person that could cut 10 min of content out of each of his 2h live shows and make a short snappy video. Like what the primagen is doing. I think he would get 10x the audience.

The actual content he has is very interesting, but the barrier is the length of it.
