    Do you lose all street cred if you use Emacs keyboard shortcuts whenever you can, but will use vim/nvim if there is no other choice?

    Not exactly an appearance, but I definitely give emacs a shout-out in the end notes of my new novel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYCZJVGX

    How to sell drugs online fast was a great show because they kept stressing how they had to have the test pass in their Vue front end.I always whenever I see code on a show/movie I wonder if it's real, a lot of times it's a mix of random languages. Sometimes just jibberish.Also recently watched Nirvana 1997 really good.

    Hilariously, the Arctic Blast screenshot seems to be the Audacity audio editor with Emacs overlaid! https://ianyepan.github.io/images/arctic-blast-emacs.png

    Enjoyable list but I’m not sure the AlphaGo documentary counts as pop culture :).It’s interesting how people talk about vi vs emacs, can’t remember ever meeting anyone who chose vi over vim, let alone enough people to make th at the debate.

    Cryptonomicon has the use of a highly custom version of Emacs called OrdoEmacs.https://dev.to/hyenast2/neal-stephenson-s-cryptonomicon-and-...

    I've often felt that Emacs is more popular in Japan than I'd expect. Could just be blue car syndrome on my part.

    I have a cat named Emacs.

    JT Nimoy, responsible for the Tron scenes, had a nice write-up about their work on it as well:https://web.archive.org/web/20120502000130/https://jtnimoy.n...

    > In a scene (Season 3, Episode 6) where protagonist Richard is coding with his new girlfriend Winnie at her apartment (okay, yeah… that’s not how all software engineers date, whatever the outside world may think), the two clash over the use of spaces versus tabs. Richard, a stubborn advocate of the tab character for indentation, argues: “I mean I do not get why anyone would use spaces over tabs. I mean, why not just use Vim over Emacs?” To which Winnie replies, “I do use Vim over Emacs.” Richard then breaks down, yelling, “Oh, God help us!”Gotta admit that I use Emacs and favor spaces over tabs. And K&R braces. And you’re wrong if you make any other choice.

    I was hoping for Pantheon too (I’m 90% sure Holstrom uses EMacs instead of Vim?)

    That TRON theme linked in the article is cool, thanks for sharing.At risk of being downvoted into oblivion by the emacs gang, I wonder if someone’s got a similar theme for vim?

    Bonus points for silicon valley doubling the Emacs references with vim AND spaces vs tabs
