Create a task from a template in Emacs

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:27:00 -0500

When a task require some structure, spans on multiple days or simply needs to be recorded, I create a file for it following a simple structure. It needs a "plan" and a "body". When I invoke this `nc-new-task` script, I simply enter the title with hyphens (eg: "create-telemetry-events") and a new file named "create-telemetry-events.org" is created with the content of a template that has everything I need to start planning the task.

Exdone postmortem

As I’m sending the notice to my customers that the service will close, I also feel a huge relief. I’m now free from this financial and administrative burden, a failure that some would call experience.

Circa 2017, I released my first real project to the world: Exdone.fr. It was a platform dedicated to small CPA firms to help them collaborate better. At that time, there was still companies doing it old-school and managing their cabinet with Excel spreadsheets.
