Lazy and I know it)

Remember that in this post I mentioned these links -


Hacking is a Mindset not a Skillset 

Five Principles of Hacking

Understanding Hacker Mindset

Hacking Mindset


Which only shows how much curiosity, originality and collaboration are valued in the world of Hackers. So, it should be, no? 

Collaboration and Originality owe their origin, in part, to being Lazy and Smart. Both of which are almost the guiding principles along which I move forward. Why reinvent the wheel if it has already been done long time ago - why not work on something Original ourselves. 

You know, I have been using Jade , CoffeeScript and LESS to overcome the traditional drudgery involved in dealing with the Web-trio of HTML5 ? JavaScript / CSS. Why?

Only because, it involves less typing and LOT cleaner code. Plus, I love exploring the various packages for Atom. I love Emacs and am learning new things about the editor every single day but I think that in the long run Atom will surpass Emacs owing to the core technology of the Editor viz the Web Technologies like CoffeeScript and LESS. Seriously, if there ever was an editor which showed more promise it would be named Emacs2. 

I do wonder that perhaps, reconstructing Emacs from the ground with Clojure would be great but then again, the overall porting of various Elisp packages or even collaboration between the two Lisps and technologies might break a lot more things which make Emacs - Emacs)
