Emacs is more than a text editor — it’s a way of thinking. It’s about designing systems, shaping workflows, and taking full control of your tools. But you don’t have to use Emacs to apply its core principles.
The Way of Emacs is about taking ownership — of your tools, your work, and your life. It’s for those who refuse to accept defaults and instead build systems that fit who they are.
I’m Bill. I’ve spent decades working with Unix, Emacs, and open-source systems. But my real passion is deliberate design — figuring out how to build systems, workflows, and mental models that give you control. Emacs is just one example of that philosophy in action.
This isn’t a site about Emacs, and it’s not a self-help blog. It’s about crafting your own way forward — with the right tools, the right mindset, and the willingness to build something better.
Read, apply, experiment. You don’t have to follow someone else’s system. You can design your own. Always own your path.
