Email from Scratch in a Week

I am going to keep this short, as I want to do an even longer write up and video about the actually project itself in soon. But, I am public announcing that I am going to undertake an extremely major project over the course of the next week. I am going to build and release a Mail Transfer Agent by Friday, from scratch. Now I am slightly cheating because over the last two months I have built two MTAs and they both had really major flaws and I did not have a good workflow at all.

SaaS is Dead

40% of all SaaS could be completely cooked if we had friendlier Email infrastructure. Email literally mogs SaaS. Your stupid communication routing software wouldn’t survive granddaddy Email waking up at the wheel!

Emacs and Email

I have been somewhat on a journey of furthering my Emacs experience. It’s been 5 years since, I first picked up Emacs, which is kinda crazy to think about in retrospect. Initially, I tried my own config, but then swapped to Doom when I needed a good productive starting point. I was on Doom Emacs and there was a level of integration I still don’t have today. I am happy with my very minimal and zen setup, right now.
