     65 Like many nerds before me, I spent a goodly portion of my life searching for
     66 the perfect [45]computing system. I wanted a single tool that would let me
     67 write prose or programs, that could search every email, tweet, or document in a
     68 few keystrokes, and that would work across all my devices. I yearned to summit
     69 the mythic Mt. Augment, to achieve the enlightenment of a properly orchestrated
     70 personal computer. Where the [46]software industry offered notifications,
     71 little clicks and dings, messages jumping up and down on my screen like a dog
     72 begging for a treat, I wanted calm textuality. Seeking it, I tweaked. I
     73 configured.
     74 
     75 The purpose of configuration is to make a thing work with some other thing—to
     76 make the to-do list work with the email client, say, or the calendar work with
     77 the other calendar. It's an interdisciplinary study. Configuration can be as
     78 complex as programming or as simple as checking a box. Everyone talks about it,
     79 but it's not taken that seriously, because there's not much profit in it. And
     80 unfortunately, configuration is indistinguishable from procrastination. A
     81 little is fine but too much is embarrassing.

    104 I spent almost three decades configuring my text editor, amassing 20 or so
    105 dotfiles that would make one acronym or nonsense word concordant with another.
    106 (For me: i3wm + emacs + org-mode + notmuch + tmux, bound together with ssh +
    107 git + Syncthing + Tailscale.) I'd start down a path, but then there'd be some
    108 blocker—some bug I didn't understand, some page of errors I didn't have time to
    109 deal with—and I'd give up.
    110 
    111 A big problem I had was where to put my stuff. I tried different databases,
    112 folder structures, private websites, cloud drives, and desktop search tools.
    113 The key, finally, was to turn nearly everything in my life into emails. All my
    114 calendar entries, essay drafts, tweets—I wrote programs that turned them into
    115 gigs and gigs of emails. Emails are horrible, messy, swollen, decrepit forms of
    116 data, but they are understood by everything everywhere. You can lard them with
    117 attachments. You can tag them. You can add any amount of metadata to them and
    118 synchronize them with servers. They suck, but they work. No higher praise.
    119 
    120 It took years to get all these emails into place, tag them, filter them just
    121 so. Little by little I could see more of the shape of my own data. And as I did
    122 this, software got better and computers got faster. Not only that, other people
    123 started sharing their config files on GitHub.
    124 
    125 Then, one cold day—January 31, 2022—something bizarre happened. I was at home,
    126 writing a little glue function to make my emails searchable from anywhere
    127 inside my text editor. I evaluated that tiny program and ran it. It worked.
    128 Somewhere in my brain, I felt a distinct click. I was done. No longer
    129 configuring, but configured. The world had conspired to give me what I wanted.
    130 I stood up from the computer, suffused with a sort of
    131 European-classical-composer level of emotion, and went for a walk. Was this
    132 happiness? Freedom? Or would I find myself back tomorrow, with a whole new set
    133 of requirements?

    171 The more “professional” a piece of software is intended to be, the more likely
    172 it is to be scriptable. CAD tools or 3D programs will provide whole languages
    173 just for configuration. But the huge consumer products, the operating systems
    174 themselves, are more and more locked down. The reasons are multiple—money,
    175 security, simplicity. A lot of our computing is done on someone else's terms.
    176 We describe it with carceral words. To assert control over your device, you
    177 “jailbreak” out.
    178 
    179 I wonder if this is one of the reasons people get into [61]crypto—they dream of
    180 a new world that can be customized like software. Programmable money,
    181 self-executing contracts, little scripts that rearrange reality. In DAOs
    182 (decentralized autonomous organizations), people use code to make social rules,
    183 then buy or do things with their consolidated digital might.
    184 
    185 A lot of my friends hate all this stuff (perhaps [62]NFTs more than DAOs) with
    186 great passion; they see it as a closing off, a betrayal of the open,
    187 trust-driven nature of the early web. Others love it, seeing it as a
    188 continuation of the community-building, empowering nature of the early web.
    189 What I see is a generation of configurers coming into their own. Older web
    190 folks expected to create the new digital economy; these younger ones are trying
    191 to create the new economy economy. Their dream is a more perfect union where
    192 humans will, because of computers, stop acting in the ways we've been acting
    193 since we came out of the trees. Then again, $200 million in NFTs were stolen
    194 the day I drafted this column.
    195 
    196 When in history have we been able to schedule folly? Sometimes the only way to
    197 end the vacation is to drive the RV off a cliff.
    198 
    199 Perhaps by the time you read this the NFTs will have been returned. That would
    200 be a good reconfiguration. But the likely outcome of the boom is that some
    201 people will cash out at the right time and become convinced that they hold the
    202 keys to the universe and will lecture us for the rest of our lives, and most
    203 people (like those who had their NFTs stolen) will be humbled, or at best break
    204 even. When in history have we been able to schedule folly? Sometimes the only
    205 way to end the vacation is to drive the RV off a cliff.
    206 
    207 While the youth reconfigure society, I'm done configuring. A month has gone by
    208 since the click, and the urge to tweak is gone. My system looks like something
    209 from the '80s (a lot of it is from the '80s), but I finally got my room just
    210 the way I like it.
    211 
    212 Here's what I mean. Say I search for the word “database”; 7,222 emails pop up.
    213 Most are from marketers and industry mailing lists proclaiming some
    214 technological triumph, but nestled among them are messages from me, or to me,
    215 about learning to use databases—XML databases, SQL databases, and so forth.
    216 When I read these old messages, I am always surprised at how little I've
    217 changed, how consistent my obsessions are. There's something valuable to me in
    218 just seeing that, in seeing how the world keeps trumpeting the new while the
    219 self stays the same. You'd think there'd be at least five new me's by now,
    220 given how often I've vowed to become better. But no. I've been writing about
    221 configuring my text editor since 1996. I've been running my mouth about
    222 databases at least that long. They say you can't dip your hand in the same
    223 river twice, but they rarely mention that it's the same hand doing the dipping.

    261 Since the emails are, well, just emails, sometimes I hit Reply (by typing “r”).
    262 On a thread that went dormant a decade ago. I don't always offer context.
    263 Sometimes I just write, “Curious … how did this turn out?” I used to feel I was
    264 intruding, to just drop in like that. But what the hell. It's been a long
    265 pandemic. No one has to write back.
    266 
    267 Out go the emails. Most get no reply; some get a bounce-back. But often enough,
    268 people respond at length. Some left the city and came back. Some are up for
    269 coffee. A surprising number are now cyborgs (pacemakers, hearing aids). Some
    270 are rich, some are broke, some are divorced. One is considering being frozen
    271 after death, some are considering getting into crypto, and one has moved to
    272 Miami. None of us understand our children.
    273 
    274 I'm thinking of starting a Sunday morning waffle breakfast for [71]vaccinated
    275 people to come stare at each other. It's one thing to email after 10 years, but
    276 everyone appreciates an invitation to breakfast. Maybe I'll set up some sort of
    277 internet-connected LED scrolly screen, like they put on food carts, so
    278 out-of-towners can leave messages. I gotta have something to configure.
    279 
    280 If you'd asked me, back when I was still configuring, not yet configured,
    281 exactly why I was nurturing these dozens of dotfiles, I'd have had a hard time
    282 telling you. I would have said: I want a pure and sleek experience. I want the
    283 computer working for me, augmenting my dumb brain with its immense arithmetical
    284 speed. I want access to my whole digital self. So I am very surprised that the
    285 terminal result of my efforts is not some sort of ecstatic communion with the
    286 internet, or even with my own computer. The function of my whole big
    287 orchestrated, tagged, integrated system was merely to rekindle old ties. What
    288 was all that configuration for? It was, in all sincerity, for waffles.
