I am glad to announce that my custom Emacs configuration Brainiac has reached release status. I am now using it without major changes since a couple of weeks, so it's time to freeze this version if other people want to use it.

Somewhere during the COVID pandemic I started checking out #emacs, because of a talk I saw on #orgmode that tickled my curiosity.
My name is Kemal. I was born and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina, now I live in Germany. My days go by in trying to simultaneously play the roles of a husband, father, team leader, geek, good person ... sometimes it works, but most of the time I run with the flow and give my best.
My interests include #health, #parenting, #productivity, #leadership, #privacy, #selfhosting, #goodmusic with guitars, #fishing, #jogging ... and I hack on my #emacs configuration pretty regularly.
As a manager one of my tasks is to do yearly performance evaluations of the employees in my team.
I take this very seriously, as although I speak regularly with my people about tasks and behaviors, this yearly review gives me time to pause and reflect deeper about the stuff I (and the company) find important and how does the employee measure against that.
During the year I keep notes of all 1:1 meetings we have and also of stuff that happens between them that catch my eye, positive as well as possible improvement points. During the yearly review preparations, I sit down and go thru all the notes in order to consolidate the feedback I want to give to the employee.
