How to show what separates emacs from other IDEs (alien.top)

I talked to someone about the extensibility of emacs, but the person I was speaking to assumed that any IDE is just as extensible by using Plug Ins.

Without turning the conversation into a university style lecture, what is one or two simple actions I can do in emacs to show someone what separates it from other IDES.

For each pipeline and stage I have my own little literate org file

Damn, your verbose description checks all the boxes for a bullshit job.

Haha, why is that? To be clear that's not an expectation of the job. It's a self imposed process so that I understand wtf is going on. I enjoy it personally and feel it makes me better at what I do. Why do you think it's bullshit?

Lol

PM

Bingo!

PM as in "project" or "product" manager? I've never experienced the former that wasn't an oxygen thief, but I've heard unicorns exist. My current product manager is quite good imo: shields engineers from idea ferries from all levels; talks to support and customers; has good track record of picking projects that successfully increases product adoption; etc. I wish our product manager took the time to understand our codebases as the op here does. I think with that knowledge it would be easier to convince the PM of the importance of certain refactors and why certain requests estimates are more difficult and or tedious that the PM expects.

Product. To be fair to project managers it's even more nebulous than our role. I have only worked with one project manager who was invaluable for my day to day. Sadly didn't get to work with her for long but would jump to do so again.

yes

Maybe a mixed role is the fabled unicorn "project" manager.
