Malleable Computing, Emacs, and You
A developer shares how they automated the manual process of copying GitHub issues into Emacs Org Agenda by building a small Elisp package called 'fj'. The package uses the GitHub CLI (gh) as a REST proxy, Transient for menus, vtable for display, ox-gfm and Pandoc for format conversion, and native JSON parsing — all in roughly 400 lines of code built in a single day. The post uses this experience as a springboard to discuss malleable computing: how Emacs's dynamic, extensible nature lets individuals combine existing libraries and external programs to build personal tools quickly, without needing permission or source access. It contrasts this with supply-only software like MS Office, where producers must serve vast audiences and feature scope explodes. Key observations include the 90/90 rule, Pareto principle applied to features, and the distinction between building for 1 vs N users.
