New Package: Peek
Actually, this package can be regarded as the advance of the quick-peek package and the generic version of citre peek. The biggest difference between this package and quick-peek would be that the peek view is able to follow your cursor point in my thought.

What's the Emacs way to explore a new project?
I will recommend citre which is based upon ctags. The one drawback of etags.el is it will load the whole TAGS file into memory and search symbols in TAGS buffer. As compared with citre, it uses the readtags binary (typically, it's bundled in ctags package), there is no need to load it into memory.

Is it too late to learn emacs as a vim lifer?
I also did this for over 20 years (well, with screen(1) back in the day first) and I managed a lot of scripts for rsync(1)ing configs and source code. Emacs was designed to run as a GUI and makes heavy use of control sequences that affect terminal emulators (such as C-c, C-s, C-q, C-h, C-z, etc.); I spent considerable time forcing Emacs to work nicely in my terminal under tmux (where I've always used M-t as my prefix key, but that's a story for another time!), and I had a pretty nice terminal workflow that way, but it was laughably and ironically a PITA to get Control-H and backspace working in a way that was satisfiable to me in all cases of all layers (terminal emulator -> tmux -> zsh -> emacs). I eventually gave up on that for reasons related to an insane thing I discovered and make heavy use of, called Org Mode, which I primarily use to organize and maintain and evaluate code blocks of scripting languages with a REPL integration (the whole reason I switched to Emacs one day in a fury of ragequitting Vim was to try Robe Mode). So I now run Emacs in the GUI as demigods intended, but this will likely not be an option for you given your SSH workflow.

shell-maker: Make your own shell in 15 lines of elisp (batteries included)
This means I can be editing a shell script and easily inject arbitrary regions into a shell buffer for immediate testing (point never leaves the window where I am editing, and I can view the shell output in an adjacent window). This is similar to what Robe does with Pry within an inferior Ruby process using comint.
