       Taking advantage of the fact that #Emacs is already practically a de facto operating system, projects like 'Emacs From Scratch' would be great, teaching how to compile Emacs directly on a Linux kernel and use it as a toolchain to build an entire operating ecosystem in Lisp. Another project, 'From Bootloader to Emacs,' could implement Emacs on bare metal as a Lisp virtual machine. Dreaming is free (and also freedom).#emacsdreams #EFS #bootloader2emacs #emacslisp

       @louis In my case, I believe that procrastination is a way to test my self-concept: deep down, starting something that takes 5 days when there are only 3 left is a challenge. It's also a reminder that I shouldn't rely too much on myself when walking on the edge, because a single misstep can be decisive. It's not something I do deliberately, and I've also tried many times to understand why I procrastinate when I could easily avoid it.On the other hand, doing something that takes 5 days in 3 forces you to approach it differently. The usual path won't get you there ontime, so you have to find a new one, avoiding mechanical work. I believe there's a relationship between procrastination and creativity.Furthermore, I think there's also a rebellious component against deadlines, although personally, I have nothing against them (in fact, they're the only thing preventing procrastination from becoming 'ad infinitum'). It's like when the danger of the edge pulls us. Curiosity. Peering into disaster and feeling how delicate the border that separates us from it is.In fact, I would enjoy procrastination a lot if it weren't for the amount of adrenaline, nerves, fear, and guilt it entails. But even when that little hell passes, the feeling of relief is a triumph in itself.
