I have built from source vim and Macvim thousands of times (really). I can count on my fingers the times the build has failed.
Every time I have been able to build Emacs from source on macOS has been reason to celebrate. As most of the time it fails.

It is nice to see how the community of a small Emacs package I created is growing. And people are willing to crash into the bugs just to see the project improve.
I've done that for other projects as well, but it is my first time for my own code. Is kind of inspiring and encouraging.

Many years ago I was working with a friend to find a bug in a Makefile generator. We had a megabyte or so of Makefile we needed to examine. He was an emacs user. It took him minutes just to open the file. I was using sam. It took about a second for sam to load, and I found the problem before he'd even finished loading the file.
The speed of tools matters, and big files are common nowadays. Things should stay fast as their workload grows. That goes double for interactive tools.
By the way, it still takes me 30 seconds to log in to my bank. I wonder how long it will take when it's an LLM-generated landing page.

Noticed only today, since moving my #Emacs environment over to the new laptop last November, all my #OrgRoam 'dailies' are not orgroam files, they are basic #OrgMode files 🥹 C-c n d d does resolve to the right org-roam command, but these files contain only a # title and nothing else.
It was likely naive of me to expect my .emacs to be relocatable.
I don't suppose there's a function to mass-convert org-files to org-roam? Well, that's what keystroke macros are for, I suppose!
On a positive note, my #Firefox kiosk issue was solved by MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 which is odd since I'm running Wayland and it had worked fine since September until I added and then removed /etc/firefox/policies/policy.json
