I just checked his Wikipedia page for his credentials. Worked for 9 years at NASA, of which 7 working on the Curiosity rover (yeah, the one that's on Mars now).
About 2 years ago I wondered the same, so I collected a bunch of data (of 'who worked on which game') and used D3.js to make a graph thingy:
Downside: It's up to Shadowlands, not Dragonflight; Also, the few little circles pulled more left are mentioned multiple times in the same Credits, just under different roles.
The thick green circle is Customer Support (though this was before the mass-layoff by MS).
Live version here, but it's SUPER janky - changing selections will generate a new graph lower down the page.
Raw JSON data here - I had to install Retail WoW (F2P is good enough), dig into the game files to find the .html files that contained the credits and then convert that whole pile of doodoo into JSON.
Have you found appdata/local/Application Data? It's a "conjunction point" that you can only find via the command line, and only exists for backwards compatibility. It points to appdata/... Do not EVER try to gain access over all your files in appdata/. It'll break due to that conjunction point.
That box story right below the original message is hilarious! 😂 It's always good to bring up happy memories after someone passed away. Good way to mourn, IMO.
Go into your YT history (https://www.youtube.com/feed/history) and delete the offending video. Your recommendations should be back to normal within 24 hours (ish). There’s even a search bar for it.

I unironically prefer apt over pacman, simply because my monkeybrain got addicted to running pacman -S (that was how to update, right?) and I dropped in productivity. apt is just "nah fam, there's nothing new for you" most days, which gives me the quiet time I want and need.
I ran Manjaro BTW. It was nice while it lasted, but Debian is my new friend now.
Probably not often, but as a Debian user, it's a PITA to get back to where I was before I fucked up my system. Nix(OS) sounds like a future investment to me, just in case I ever fuck up and need to get back to where I was ASAP. Been there once already and it was NOT fun.
That was from a professional standpoint BTW, privately I'm still a dirty Windows pleb, because that's what I'm most familiar with.
PS: I'm already using a dotfiles repo, which already saves me a ton of time in settings things up.
I'm slowly learning Nix, and I've learned that Nix has more packages available than any single distro could ever deliver: https://repology.org/repositories/graphs.
It even has more than AUR (Arch User Repository, BTW)
Well, not the whole of the ELK stack (Elastic, Logstash and Kibana, though the full stack size is much larger nowadays), but their watchers. A watcher is a piece of JSON with some search specifications on when to trigger and send an alert to email/slack/teams/whatever. We're basically abusing it as an alerting system, and generally it works... Fine... Presuming Filebeat actually ingests our logs (which is partially our fault, as there's a fix, but it takes too damn long to drag 3 teams along to implement what needs implementing to fix that problem).
Anyway, the problem is not the watcher itself, even though it is painful (heh) to learn the structure. It's "Painless", the JVM-based scripting language available in a watcher. It's anything but. It is SO painful to write code, inside of a JSON object, making sure everything is exactly as it should be, having to use the DevTools in Kibana to try and trigger it, wait to see what enormous error comes out while praying it works. No IDE, no nothing. Ah, I lied. It does have Syntax Highlighting, for non-Painless code, IIRC...
Oh, having to dig information out of the data you get is super unintuitive too.
At least the UI/Kibana is good, and Elastic is pretty good too. Fuck Filebeat though. And Painless.

I'd say that's credentialed enough.
I too wish he did more complex stuff.
