  Just remembered something funny that happened a long time ago too. Not very related to this story but I will put it here anyway, I was trying out some new themes for Emacs a long time ago, and most of the themes that you will try, would have this warnning shoutted out by Emacs that choosing this theme can actually execute Lisp code, which is correct and should be carefully considered. However, between switching to the new theme from your current theme, Emacs switches to the default Emacs theme. And I fell in love! I didn't know that this was the default theme, I thought that this was the one I had just chosen then (the message was omitted for unkown reason). The next day I spent the whole day debugging why my theme is now black.

It's always recommended to check what your vendors/origins provide before looking for third-party solution. I learnt that the hard way years ago when I was in the Digital Signal Processing class and trying to take math notes, I was new to Org-mode and the Emacs rabbit whole that time and I wanted to use Org-mode for this mission. I came across this program from reddit, it's called "math-preview", I thought that this was the utility I need to write LaTeX equations inside Org. I spent hours trying to install it (npm tragedy), and even after getting it to work, I was getting Elisp errors inside Emacs. I do not remember how it ended though, perhaps someone told me that Emacs does what I wanted out of the box? Anyway. It's only a fun memory now :) #Programming
