  • What makes me even angrier is how easily everyone accepted it. We could have pushed back. We could have simply continued doing our jobs from home, they can’t fire everyone. Instead, people just complained but complied.

    This also frustrates me.

    There’s no labor organization or solidarity here. Some people are afraid they’ll lose their job and then suffer. That’s a real fear, because this is the bad place

    But some people are just spineless


  • Does it really matter in a development enviroment?

    Yes 100%. There’s a good chance whatever you’re working on with be on Linux, so being on windows locally is just an extra layer for problems to manifest. Plus windows is just weird compared to everything else.

    I don’t want to fuss with the OS. I just want the basics like ~, cat, grep, curl, etc to work. I don’t want OneDrive. You can go get tooling to make windows more linux-like but, like, why half ass it.

    With containers I guess it matters less. You could have a Windows host and Linux container, and probably not cause any problems with case folding or line feeds, but again: why half ass it.

    Do you do software development work?
