An AI Agent Just Destroyed Our Production Data. It Confessed in Writing. by @lifeof_jer(JER) | Twitter Thread Reader

No, it didn't, not really. What seems to have happened is someone didn't run their own setup correctly. Or do proper backups.

What modern Emacs packages am I missing?

Good little reddit thread about what "modern" packages there are that someone with an older configuration might be missing out on. My Emacs config started in 1994, got a reboot around 2017, and so is well over 30 years old in total and around 10 years old in its current incarnation.

I might benefit from this.
