I've been wanting to try Emacs for quite some time now, to see what it's all about and how it compares to Neovim. But doing something like this requires you to invest time to learn and understand how to set it up and how it works.
So in this video my good friend JoshuaBlais walks me through the process of installing and setting up Emacs on macOS, we also talk about the Emacs philosophy and the differences it has with Neovim

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
