[emacs-berlin] May 2021 Meetup

My workflow is driven by the project that the current buffer belongs
to. I use the built-in `project.el`. To switch to a buffer belonging to
the current project, I would execute ~C-x p b~ or just ~C-x p f~ to open
a new file from the current project.

To have separate window configurations, I use the built-in
`tab-bar-mode` (with the tab bar made invisible). My mode-line has a
string like this "|[1] 2 3|" at the end to display the currently
selected tab.

Best,
