I've been a Markdown guy for a long time now, and despite being a long-time Emacs user, I've never really taken the time to learn org-mode.

There was a post from 2014 that was on the homepage last week [0], and it got me _really_ interested in org-mode + ssh sessions.

I keep a daily log in Markdown, as well as a list of tasks that I'm tracking, and the ability to seamlessly describe _and_ execute code locally or remotely was incredibly enticing.

I've also been a long time Emacs+Org mode user, and while I was aware of babel and the ability to tangle literate programming documents, it simply never occurred to me that I could execute those snippets in-place and manipulate the results in-place like an ipython/jupyter/mathematica notebook.

I had the same reaction to that post, and I'm really excited to get more familiar with it, as it makes a great addition to some of the work I'm doing now.
