Really curious about your motivation for applying to Recurse - and how you'll find the experience! Is it back to physical now?

Good luck on the rewrite!

I went through Emacs bankruptcy proceedings a few years ago (ejecting from Spacemacs). I'm here to tell you my config came out stronger at the end and it was generally fun

Also curious about your RC experiences. What's your project, other than a new init.el?

Thanks everyone for chiming in. TBH, I'm feeling pretty good about the task :)

This is my second time at RC. Will recommend 11/10! It works just like it says on the tin (and in my experience, better that it says on the tin!). > Is it back to physical now? RC has been remote-only since the pandemic. This is exactly how it works: https://www.recurse.com/virtual-rc They are currently, tentatively, experimenting to see if there is a good way to do remote-first, with optional physical space access. That's going down this way: https://www.recurse.com/blog/189-a-new-kind-of-retreat > Also curious about your RC experiences. What's your project, other than a new init.el? This time I'm making my retreat all about heads-down coding as much as I can (half finished books, "forever projects" like my site maker, personal tools like my dotemacs etc. -- anything goes). Last time I was in NYC, and it was highly social because I wanted to soak in as much culture, shared experiences, collegial exchange as I could. Everyone's experience tends to be pretty unique / individual, because it is a self-directed retreat, and people come with their own individual circumstances. I think it is important to view time at RC as a beginning of a process, rather than a finite package. There is a reason the motto is to "never graduate"!
