Id love life if I could work 4 or 3 days a week. I'm mostly productive for 3 days anyway

I don't know a single ui person or artist that gives a single f about open source.

I think as a dev you naturally grow to respect the open source space because of how much you take from it.

I would love to be proven wrong though

Ofc

It's not only that but wifi protocols are very complicated and if you look up datasheets you'll likely just find documents in chinese.

Easier said than done. I did want to look into writing wifi drivers but imo these are the most difficult drivers to write code for.

Unsupported hardware is a really big issue when you encounter it. I used a WiFi driver for a broadcom USB Wi-Fi card and it was one of the worst experiences I've had. Constant disconnections. Sometimes it wouldn't even connect. Learned a lot about systemd, network manager, services but really was painful because I used that computer for work.

You need to if your device isn't officially supported. This is pretty common for USB wifi cards.

There's a DB of officially supported cards , and if your card isn't there then you have to look up for a driver.

Usually they're fairly easy to find with just googling.

Won't ever be because we're in the stage where everything is marketed as much as possible.it would take a massive cultural and political shift to change that.

That's a very good point. My angle is as a dev and not as IT or sys admin. Power shell is probably far more powerful in those circles.

Functionally speaking, PS is a really good shell language. Its minor things about it that I dont enjoy. As you said, it feels like the language design has some poor decisions.

If you use vscode, try out the merge editor. It's a lot clearer to me when the merge diffs are huge.

I would also say to check out the latest branch for each file you commit. If your file is file.tsx checkout file.tsx in the main branch to make sure you know what you're changing.

"But PS is open source ! Don't you want to use it in Linux and MacOS?" - Microsoft probably

I hope I didn't come across as defending ps. PS sucks and whoever decided to have functions use capital case with dashes in between needs to have their brain scanned

Good work. Now explain to me why this test passed in CI but is clearly broken in production.

Yeah. I've said this before and got grilled for it but I wish there was a shell scripting language that doesn't have arcane syntax.

Gotta love no unit tests

Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either

I think you're confusing virus and malware. Windows is malware by definition. I think according to gnu philosophy any proprietary software is malware because features are designed to make profits and not to service the end user.

Not everyone is a gamer.

This is the way to go. What's crazy is your productivity and efficiency is probably the same or better since you can have a softer reset with the weekend.
