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.

Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
You'll need to install an extension for it, but yes it does. Here is one example: https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el

IRS will officially launch free online tax filing service for 2024 tax season
For me, the beauty of Beancount[0] is that it's just text files in Git. There's a web UI I use for generating reports, and a Python API with which I hacked together some import/export scripts, but 99% of my interactions with it are via Emacs[1] and Magit.
A ton of repetitive bookkeeping tasks become so much easier when you can copy and paste, or use keyboard macros or something like multiple-cursors[2], rather than have to click tens or hundreds of times in a GUI. Many years ago I used QuickBooks, and basic tasks like importing a bank statement took at least an order of magnitude longer than they do now.
Having my company's books in Git is also huge when it comes to auditing, concurrency, backups, and figuring out where things went wrong when accounts don't balance. As mentioned in another comment: `git diff` is a really powerful tool and it's awesome to be able to check out the books as they existed at a particular point in time. `git blame` is great for when things don't balance. Writing meaningful commit messages and comments keeps me sane when I try to remember a year later why something is recorded the way it is.
The biggest downside—or advantage, depending on how you look at it—is that there's no default or built-in chart of accounts, so you need a certain level of accounting acumen (or professional advice) to set things up at first. I'm pretty sure GnuCash aims to be more plug-and-play, whereas Beancount is more akin to a programming library that you use to build an accounting system that works for you. I agree with the grandparent commenter, who said that text-based accounting is "the best and most flexible accounting experience I've ever had." But the cost of that flexibility is that a certain level of base knowledge is a prerequisite.

packages/features/settings that slow Emacs down
The original multiple cursors package is amazing for what it is, but it scales very badly. Emacs is efficient when editing at one place at a time (as you'd do normally), and when mc replicates all the edits character-by-character for all the cursors, it does the very opposite of this: many edits all in very different places. It works quite well when using just a few cursors, but going above a dozen of them causes them to be visibly sluggish.

Multiple-cursors error on Emacs 29.0.60
Recently multiple-cursors has been unusable for me on Emacs 29.0.60 (not a release yet). Movements (and possibly other operations) don't work with the following error:

Best way to "process" a large-ish text file?
If you intend to use Emacs for this (as opposed to some external script), you're probably better off using the keyboard macros or a regular search&replace instead of multiple cursors (I assume the Magnars flavor of them). As flexible as they are, they don't scale well and they get exponentially slower the more cursors you have. Having 2500 cursors sounds insane.

You can do something similar with multiple cursors.

If you have never used wgrep with rg.el to rename a function in several files, try it | that will blow your mind
Then, in *rg* buffer, we transform org-link-expand-abbrev into org-link-RENAMED the way we prefer (we have all the Emacs power, some of us might use query-replace, other might use multiple-cursors.el, other iedit, etc.). And so *rg* buffer looks like this:
