Not exactly an appearance, but I definitely give emacs a shout-out in the end notes of my new novel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYCZJVGX

How to sell drugs online fast was a great show because they kept stressing how they had to have the test pass in their Vue front end.

I always whenever I see code on a show/movie I wonder if it's real, a lot of times it's a mix of random languages. Sometimes just jibberish.

Also recently watched Nirvana 1997 really good.

Hilariously, the Arctic Blast screenshot seems to be the Audacity audio editor with Emacs overlaid! https://ianyepan.github.io/images/arctic-blast-emacs.png

Enjoyable list but I’m not sure the AlphaGo documentary counts as pop culture :).

It’s interesting how people talk about vi vs emacs, can’t remember ever meeting anyone who chose vi over vim, let alone enough people to make th at the debate.

Cryptonomicon has the use of a highly custom version of Emacs called OrdoEmacs.

I was hoping for Pantheon too (I’m 90% sure Holstrom uses EMacs instead of Vim?)

That TRON theme linked in the article is cool, thanks for sharing.

At risk of being downvoted into oblivion by the emacs gang, I wonder if someone’s got a similar theme for vim?
