(just kicking things off here)

learning Vim was really great for me; I don't think I'll ever learn everything it has to offer but picking up a new shortcut is always so much fun, especially if the code isn't the most exciting.

The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

(Almost to embarrassed to ask a question s as simple as this, but here we go...)

I hear a lot about shell scripts and how useful they are, but my expertise in Bash is pretty much limited—know I can pipe cat into vim, basic things like that—could you share some examples of what you can automate with shell scripts that you personally use often?

I love the idea of Emacs (especially of Doom!) I've played around with Doom a bit a few months ago and it was enjoyable to use, if a bit difficult to learn. Unfortunately, getting native compilation to work on Mac OS was making my install really brittle, but I might give it a second try after your comment.
