<p>Ive always hated filler chat/email messages like “Hello! How are you doing?”,
so Im very glad we have sites like <a href="https://nohello.net/">nohello.net</a> where
we can point people who are in the habit of using them.<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/06/no-hello/#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup></p>
<p>In case youre wondering why is this a problem in the first place heres a nice summary:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>People who do this are generally trying to be polite by not jumping right into the request, like one would in person or on the phone - and thats great! But its 2021 and chat is neither of those things. For most people, typing is much slower than talking. So despite best intentions, <strong>youre actually just making the other person wait</strong> for you to phrase your question, which is lost productivity (and kinda annoying).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Being polite is nice, but such filler messages add no value to an asynchronous communication. I know that youre reaching out to me with a question/task and Id just like to know what this it is, so I can do something about it. Getting to the meat of the conversation quickly helps you and me both be more productive.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It may seem trivial, but asking your question before getting that initial salutatory reply also allows for asynchronous communication. If the other party is away, and you leave before they come back, they can still answer your question, instead of just staring at a “Hello” and wondering what they missed.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Cant agree more! I always cut right to the chase with my messages and advise everyone to do the same. Here are some other opening messages that you should avoid:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can I ask you a question?</li>
<li>Can you help me with something?</li>
<li>Are you around?</li>
<li>Do you have a few minutes?</li>
</ul>
<p>Specific messages always produce better results. Ask your questions right away and always clarify what would you like to discuss:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are we ready with the presentation about project X?</li>
<li>Can you help me with the code review for Y?</li>
<li>I need to discuss the plans for feature Z ASAP. Do you have time for quick call now?</li>
</ul>
<p>Simple and effective.</p>
<div class="footnotes">
<ol>
<li id="fn:1">
<p>Theres also <a href="https://no-hello.com">https://no-hello.com</a> that I know of. Probably there are other similar sites as well. Seems way too many people have been frustrated by pointless messages. <a class="reversefootnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/06/no-hello/#fnref:1">↩</a></p>

<blockquote>
<p>Package cl is deprecated</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Ive been ignoring this startup message for maybe a year now (since the release of Emacs 27).
After recently updating all my packages (and completely breaking my emacs setup) I decided to go through all the startup messages and start fixing things.</p>
<h2 id="the-fix">The Fix</h2>
<p>Searching around the fix is straight forward.
Instead of requiring <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">cl</code> the correct name is now <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">cl-lib</code>.</p>
<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-elisp"><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">require</span> <span class="ss">'cl-lib</span><span class="p">)</span></code></pre></figure>
<p>I knew of one place where I had used <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">cl</code> (I used the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">return-from</code> function to do an early exit from a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">while</code> loop), but after making the change, I was still getting the startup message.
Unfortunately that meant the startup message was coming from one of the many packages I had installed, how would I ever find it?</p>
<h2 id="finding-cl-requirements">Finding <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">cl</code> requirements</h2>
<p>Luckily, we have the <a href="https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/58489/how-do-i-debug-package-cl-is-deprecated">emacs stackexchange</a>, with this handy snippet:</p>
<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-elisp"><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">require</span> <span class="ss">'loadhist</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">file-dependents</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">feature-file</span> <span class="ss">'cl</span><span class="p">))</span></code></pre></figure>
<p>Showing the one place with a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">cl</code> requirement:</p>
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Users/gonsie/.config/emacs/elisp/color-theme-6.6.0/color-theme.el</code></p>
<p>Unfortunately this is in one of the packages Ive been hand carrying around for over 10 years (longer than my dotfiles repo has existed).
Its finally time to update the implementation of my preferred color theme, but that is a post for another day.</p>
