Building blocks
<p>
The two tasks I do most in Emacs (which are two of the three tasks I do
most at the computer) are read email and write programs.</p>

I probably spend far more of my time in those tasks editing than I ever
do writing—that is, I may write a first draft of a paragraph in an
email, or a function in a program, in five minutes, and then spend
fifteen getting it right.</p>
