Emacs Advent Calendar 7: ordeless, embark 1.0 and some bric-a-brac
orderless. A highly configurable completion style that matches multiple patterns in any order against minibuffer completion candidates.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.

How to configure corfu for arbitrary orderless matching?
You didn't mention, so I'll ask, are you using the orderless (https://github.com/oantolin/orderless) completion style?
-
Help wanted: Zsh completion like Vertico+Orderless
Fuzzy completion ala Orderless would be awesome: hitting space during completion acts as a pattern separator.

Selectrum now deprecated in favor of Vertico
I dunno—I like how Vertico+Counsel feel. I'm not sure how good the support for Orderless and Embark are in Ivy, but I really like how those packages compose so nicely with the Vertico+Consult ecosystem.

How to get helm like narrowing behavior with selectrum?
In general, you want either orderless or prescient, with my personal preference being the former.

How to get corfu completions that include substring matches?
You probably want to investigate completion styles. There are many builtin styles, from basic, which just does prefix completion, on up. But there are also 3rd party styles. One of the most powerful is called orderless. Considering all these styles, there really is a ton of flexibility in how you can get to a completion candidate like some-named-something (some, s-n-s, sns, soso, [a-z]{4}-na, e\b \bs, ...). You can even configure more than one style at a time (and usually do).

What are the kinds of things you've written Emacs Lisp for?
Well, I've written some general purpose Emacs packages (orderless and embark) that I use a lot, but I also write Emacs Lisp for one-off tasks.

Show HN: Tere – A Faster Alternative to CD+ls
I like it. Would be nice to see orderless-style (https://github.com/oantolin/orderless) completion, and a config not to enter the directory by narrowing the completion to one, requiring enter to be pressed.

Emacs Advent Calendar 7: ordeless, embark 1.0 and some bric-a-brac
If you don't mind, I have a bit of an unrelated question for you: What are your thoughts on Emac's existing multithreading support? For a few weeks now, I'm trying to do something practical with them, and found that they at least enable one thing: accept-process-output can be done without blocking the main thread (I have an small example and I'm preparing a blog post). I'm asking because I stumbled upon this project of yours: https://github.com/minad/affe and thought that it would be easier to implement with threads (with all their limitations). It would require careful coding so that the heavier computations don't block or starve the main thread, but I think it's possible, and would result in smaller and more performant code.

Fuzzy file finding in non-project dir
I found [affe.el](https://github.com/minad/affe), but I don't want to add this package if doom supports this kind of feature.
-
M-x find-dired-name
The closest thing you're looking for is affe it just uses completing-read in an async manner. The filtering is also done async so there is no lag. It supports emacs' completion styles, e.g. you can couple it with orderless.

affe.el - Asynchronous Fuzzy Finder for Emacs
Affe provides an asynchronous fuzzy finder similar to the fzf command-line fuzzy finder, written in pure Elisp. A producer process is started in the background, e.g., find, fd or ripgrep. The output produced by this process is filtered by an external asynchronous Emacs process. The Emacs UI always stays responsive since the work is completely off-loaded to other processes. The results are presented in the minibuffer using Consult, which allows to quickly select from the available items.

What is everybody using for file switching/selection?
You may want to try my Affe, the Asynchronous Fuzzy Finder for Emacs, which works similarly to fzf and is fast, since the file list is generated only once and the filtering is performed in an external process on all files. However there is also no support for flex sorting, only filtering as offered by orderless.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing orderless and affe you can also consider the following projects:
