I'll never understand why my classmates prefer python to R.

Not to mention python has a tendency to influence things outside of its domain. I've configured my software repos to never update any packages containing python scripts or dependencies, because every time python updates, there's a chance all those packages will stop working.

I have little patience for digital systems anymore. I want my computer to "just work" the same way I expect a shovel to just work. I prefer Debian.

My understanding was it used to be windows was decent enough, whilst Linux was an upgrade for those who valued freedom.

Now Linux is quickly going from 'upgrade' to 'only sensible option.'

If my mother can't tell the difference between Firefox and the OS, but can use Linux mint just fine, then so can the average user.

Its not just Linux. NVIDIA sucks on windows too, but those PCMR types aren't willing to admit it.

Safe code is a skill, not a feature.

7. Never plan on staying at a SE job for longer than a few years. Not in a market that volitile.

The secret to success in software engineering:

1. Lie and say that there is
2. Write or use a conversion algorithm
3. Boss won't know the difference
4. Collect bonus at performance evaluation
5. Put "AI engineer" on resume

I mean, DNA can be stored in a file. Hormones and steroids can be described discretely by chemical composition. And while we still don't understand how the frontal lobe works, we do understand how brains store, recognize, and recall information, which is the basis for generative AI today.

I've never met anyone who likes the windows shell environment, or uses it by choice. Only people who try very hard to convince themselves UNIX is somehow worse.
