Emacs Configuration
Oh boy.
I don't even know what to say about this. I want to believe in the vim cult, but emacs just has me under its thrall. It's precisely what I've been looking for this whole time.
early-init.el
A pointless header

This is said to speed up loading files because it doesn't search on network locations, which have always been broken for me.
