I've been following Douglas Rushkoff for about a decade now. He's written books about this for the last 10-15 years, and his podcast 'team human'interviews some very interesting people.

I don't know about this article, but Douglas is as real as they come. I'm not sure why people here are being cynical.

Second this. I am not a dev - Learned about emacs from an article that was posted on HN. Took me about a week to know the most basic things, I still don't know enough to use emacs regularly, but it's a great, distraction-free environment to work in.

This is the article that got my started: https://blog.fugue.co/2015-11-11-guide-to-emacs.html

Agree! I am not a developer or an overly technical person and I recently started using Emacs because of an article here (using ido and org mode). I like it but I'm not fluent enough, or know enough of what it does to switch to it for everyday tasks - but there's a beauty in navigating file systems, creating files, switching windows all with your keyboard.

Does anyone know if you can actually write code on Emacs, like HTML/CSS/Javascript?

That's a great story! How long after you started learning JS did you start making the movie app?
