Sometimes I want an emacs buffer to always be visible but I want to ignore it when navigating between buffers.
For example, I want a list of org-mode tasks I need to do today and I want it at the top of the window so it’s highly visible. Since I heavily use other-window and previous-multiframe-window to switch between buffers, it would slow me down if I have to visit the sticky buffer every time I’m cycling between buffers (I like to think of it as clockwise and counterclockwise).
Here’s my first attempt at doing just that: sticky-buffer-mode.el.
Now I can go to the buffer with the list of tasks and sticky-buffer-add and future navigation (I have previous and next bound to C-x p and C-x o) won’t visit it.

Chatgpt Lowers Barriers to Building Small Projects
After using it for a few coding projects recently, I find that ChatGPT is a great way to lower the barriers to building smaller, self-contained projects—things that have been hiding in your to do list that take a bit too much effort to attempt but is still a good idea.
