Prot Asks: Diego about Emacs use, head of engineering, industry's state, and combat sports
Raw link: YouTube OR Internet Archive
In this new video series, I talk to anybody who is interested to have a video call with me (so do contact me if you want!). The topics cover anything related to Emacs, technology, and life in general. More information in the announcement I posted: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2025-07-10-prot-asks-chats-videos-proposal/.
For this meeting, I learn from Diego about how he used Emacs to organise his life and do programming. As the head of an engineering team, Diego describes how the work is organised and what kind of considerations are involved. Part of our discussion covers the state of the industry and the impact of artificial intelligence. We also talk about life in the countryside of Spain. Diego is into combat sports, so we cover that issue as well and comment on how it relates to the human experience more broadly.
