It's just an example, but it's a good one as it makes sense. It should be like this: * Everyone does their own customization (obviously) * Everyone does their own original/creative projects (or ditto just-for-fun elisping) * But everyone should not do this basic stuff over and over, instead it should be found in libraries - incomplete and poor as they may be day one, in time they will be improved to become a huge asset. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
