A founder/CTO shares how they use Emacs not merely as a code editor but as a personal digital home base — a 'Fortress of Solitude' for planning, journaling, task management, writing, and coding. The post walks through daily workflows using Org mode for scheduling, GTD-style task tracking, time clocking, journaling, and LLM integration. It argues that the 'Emacs as OS' framing is off-putting, while 'home base' better captures its value as a stable, extensible, keyboard-driven environment that remains relevant even in the age of AI coding tools.
